    Chocolate Cherry Almond Oatmeal: Great Mornings Start Here

    Published: This post may contain affiliate links · Which means I make a small commission at no extra cost to you· Leave a Comment

    This oatmeal starts with the traditional base and uses summer cherries to make the perfect breakfast combination. It's not overly sweet, but is a nice breakfast treat. I like to add PlantFusion protein powder to up the protein count for fullness!

    I typically store them in an airtight container, but recently found these individual cups on amazon. I filled each cup with ½ cup oatmeal and was able to make 11 portions total. Basically, breakfast for 11 days is complete. What more could you want?!

    Equipment

    • Dutch Oven or Large Pot

    Ingredients

    • 2 Bananas overly ripe
    • 4 cups water
    • pinch of salt
    • 8 ounces Mascarpone cheese goat cheese or Greek Yogurt (goal = creaminess)
    • 4 cups old fashioned oats
    • ¼ cup chia seeds
    • 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
    • 1 Tablespoon almond extract

    • ¼ cup vanilla protein powder optional
    • 2 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder

    Instructions

    • Add the 2 bananas, 4 cups water, and pinch of salt to a dutch oven or large pot. Bring to a boil and let simmer for about 10 minutes. The banana will serve as a sweetener. After it boils, mash the banana so it is blended well- you don’t want large pieces but no need to work too hard on this step.
    • Turn off the heat, add the Mascarpone, other cheese, or greek yogurt and stir.
    • Add in oatmeal, Stir well, and add all other ingredients.
    • Mix well and store in an airtight container for 1-2 weeks in the refrigerator. You can store this 3 months in the freezer.
    • When you are ready to eat it from the refrigerator, add water or milk to 1 cup of the oatmeal and heat in the microwave for about 1 minute.
