Cherry Almond Croissant Baked Oats

It’s cherry season and I AM HERE FOR IT! These cherry almond croissant baked oats are my the new top of my baked oatmeal obsession that truly goes back to the early 2000s. They’re inspired by almond croissants (omg so so good!), and the sweet cherry flavor is such a natural addition. I hope you love these as much as I do (and as much as my kids do!).

IDK how it took me so long to use cherries in more of the recipes! I love snacking on fresh cherries on those hot summer days, but it’s honestly been an afterthought to try and incorporate them into my cooking. I’ve got several recipes, but this is the very first cherry oatmeal recipe that we’ve graced the blog with. I could not be more excited to share this one with you all.

• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon almond extract
• ¼ cup maple syrup
• 1.25 cups unsweetened plain almond milk

• 2 cups rolled oats
• ½ cup oat flour, or any kind of flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt
• 1 cup fresh cherries
• 1 cup sliced almonds
• Powdered sugar for garnish
