Cherry Pie Overnight Oats

We’re officially into the first week of August.

August! How did that happen?

I feel like this summer is flying by and I haven’t taken advantage of the warm weather as much as I should. Even though we still have a decent amount of time left of the season, it’ll slowly start feeling like fall soon. And I’m not even going to talk about schools being back in session again! So shhhh let’s not talk about that just yet.

Instead, let’s talk about this these Cherry Pie Overnight Oats. Packed with just a few simple ingredients, these overnights oats taste just like cherry pie, in healthy form.

The hearty oats, spoonable fresh cheese (aka yogurt) from Elli Quark, almond milk, and cherries make the perfect breakfast for busy weekday mornings. And to achieve that cherry pie crust texture, crumbled graham crackers are mixed in just before serving. Sounds pretty good, right?

Now let’s get back to that spponable cheese. Did that catch you off guard? It’s a form of yogurt from Elli Quark.  It’s similar to Greek yogurt, but with a less sour taste and creamier texture. It also happens to be high in protein and contains no refined sugars.

And let me tell you, guys, this spoonable cheese is SO GOOD!

And I’m not just saying that. I practically jumped at the chance to try this yogurt from Elli Quark after hearing some amazing things about it. And trust me, it does not disappoint. And this is coming from huge Greek yogurt lover. I usually eat Greek yogurt every morning, but after trying Elli Quark, I have a new love.

So it seemed appropriate that I take my love for this spoonable cheese and add it into the perfect summer’s-not-going-anywhere breakfast!

These Cherry Pie Overnight Oats take just minutes to prepare, with no cooking involved!

Simply mix together the oats, Elli Quark spoonable cheese (or Greek yogurt), milk, cinnamon, and cherries. Pour the oat mixture into a mason jar or container with a lid and refrigerate at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight. The oats will soften and absorb the liquid, so there is no need to cook the mixture.

Once you’re ready to indulge in this healthy treat, sprinkle some crumbled graham crackers on top and thoroughly stir so that the mixture comes together.

One bite of these Cherry Pie Overnight Oats and you’ll be hooked on these for life. It’s easy to prepare, full of cherry pie flavor, and packed with healthy ingredients!

    I don't want to think about school starting, either. But then, I do work at one, so yep. Hard to think about getting back into it. It'll be easier if I can make my breakfast the night before! This looks delicious.

      Well spoonable cheese is news to me Gayle! I'll have to pick some up next time I hit the store. I love this healthy spin with cherries in it, they're support to help your joints too! Good for people with aches and pains, I definitely have to make this! Love the grahm crackers on top for that crunch factor.

    I can't believe it's August either! It's insane how fast the summer goes. This recipe looks fantastic Gayle! I have been hearing a lot about Elli Quark so I need to try it. I'm not a huge Greek yogurt fan, so I'm anxious to try this since it's less sour!

    I can't wait for that first little feeling of fall...something about it. I'll have to admit, I've never looked into the whole "overnight oats" thing, just because I think cold oats might be an issue for me, but yours make it look delish, so I think I might give it a try! Thanks for sharing Gayle! Pinned!

      You know, I never used to like oatmeal until recently and I really thought I would hate overnight oats. But I actually like it better than hot oatmeal! I think it has to do with the delicious flavor and that it's so easy to make! Thanks for the pin and kind words, Amber!

      Yes! I'm definitely not ready to give up on all of the fresh summer fruit just yet. Thanks for the kind words, Jen!

    I can't believe it is August already either! Which also means that more and more months have gone by without me every trying to make overnight oats! I feel so behind!

    Sign me up! You know I'm a huge fan of overnight oats, and these are totally calling my name. Pinned! It's funny, too -- I just saw an ad for Elli Quark this morning and thought to myself, "I need to remember to buy some of that at Target this week." Thanks for the reminder! :)

    What is NOT to love about this? Cherry pie made healthy? With no baking? Already a winner! Plus spoonable cheese and crushed grahamies (aka graham crackers)? AND I can I devour this from a jar? Swoon! I have never heard of Elli Quark before, but Obvi I am going to have to check it out because I have got to make this! Yummmmm! Pinned! Cheers, my dear! ;)

    I've heard of this Elli Quark, but I haven't seen it yet. Maybe they have it at Whole Foods? Either way, these overnight oats sound easy and tasty. I know for sure my husband would love them and I'll try anything cherry pie!

    Overnight oats! One of those things I've always thought are so clever and pretty in the cute jars, but for some reason have never got around to making. You've definitely convinced me I should have a go. And cherry flavour ... mmmm, can't think of anything more delicious!

      I think you would love this, Helen! I was never really a big fan of oatmeal growing up, so I'm pleasantly surprised that I love overnight oats. I think the taste even better cold!
