Equipment

Ingredients

2 cups milk (any kind)
2 eggs
¼ cup honey (or pure maple syrup)
2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
2 cups old-fashioned oats
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1½ cups frozen cherries, halved (I used frozen dark sweet cherries)
1 cup dark chocolate chunks (or chocolate chips)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray an 8x8 baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, honey, and vanilla until smooth. Add in the oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and stir well until fully combined. Fold in cherries and chocolate chunks.
Spread mixture into prepared baking dish. Bake for 38-45 minutes, or until oatmeal is firm. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Serve with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, if desired.

Notes

Baked oatmeal will keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to five days.
