Easy Vegan Cherry Oatmeal recipe. This healthy gluten free breakfast idea keeps you full until lunch. Great brunch idea!
When cherries are in season, I go crazy. I buy bags and bags of them to snack on throughout the day.
Heck, I even got my 8 month old baby obsessed with them. And with this years cherries being so sweet and juicy, I don’t blame him.
So obviously, I am going to be making this Vegan Cherry Oatmeal every other day until I can no longer find cherries in stores.
What you need to make Vegan Cherry Oatmeal
Apart from the 100% cherry juice, this oatmeal is made with ingredients I typically always have on hand when cherries are in season. All you will need is:
- 100% tart cherry juice
- oatmilk
- rolled oats
- chia seeds
- cherries
Variations and substitutions
Of course, this oatmeal can be made non-vegan as well. You can switch out the oat milk with whatever milk you have on hand, however I really believe that oatmeal tastes SO much better made with oat milk. Maybe it’s just me.
And if you didn’t want to make a special trip to buy 100% tart cherry juice, you can substitute filtered water. However, it will not have the same very cherry taste that I love in this oatmeal.
You can also switch up the fruit in this oatmeal! I wouldn’t recommend anything citrusy because it doesn’t mix well with oatmeal, but try apples or cranberries.
