It’s simple, hearty and loaded with nutrients. Traditional oatmeal is a little mushy and dull for my taste (I crave it once or twice a year, but that’s it). Baked Oatmeal is quite different, it’s soft, a bit chewy and super filling. So, if you don’t love oatmeal, you might want to give baked oats a try. This Cherry Baked Oatmeal is sweetened with fruit and a bit of coconut sugar. I wanted to keep this recipe as healthy and appetizing as possible, so it’s not overly sweet. But if you like things on the sweeter side, serve it with a drizzle of maple or date syrup. I like to serve it warm with a big dollop of coconut yogurt and fresh berries. YUM! The combination of cherries, orange zest, freshly grated ginger, vanilla and almonds is truly delicious! This wonderful breakfast has rolled oats, flaxseeds and almonds. It’s nourishing and super tasty at the same time, it’s the perfect way to start the day. Or to finish it, because this oatmeal recipe can also be a healthy dessert, it would be amazing with a little coconut whipped cream or a big scoop of nice cream. **If you try this plant-based breakfast recipe, let us know what you think.
