Instructions
Combine the Base
Add the rolled oats and ground flaxseed to a mason jar or airtight container. Pour in the almond milk and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
Add the Cherries
Spoon the thawed tart cherries over the oat mixture, including any juice that has accumulated from thawing. The cherry juice adds natural sweetness and additional antioxidants.
Refrigerate Overnight
Seal the jar tightly and place in the refrigerator for a minimum of 8 hours or overnight. The oats will absorb the liquid and soften to a creamy pudding-like texture.
Top and Serve
In the morning, give the oats a good stir and check the consistency. Add a splash of almond milk if you prefer a looser texture, then top with the chopped raw walnuts and serve cold.
