Cherry Almond Steel Cut Oats


Description:
This is a super yummy breakfast that tastes like dessert. This is from the LIVESTRONG.COM site but it was sent to me by Healthy Bitch Daily.

Ingredients:
2 cups organic unsweetened almond vanilla milk
2 cups water
8 ounces frozen dark sweet cherries
1 cup whole steel cut oats
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup sliced almonds


Directions:
In a medium pot, bring the almond milk and water to a boil. Roughly chop the frozen cherries while waiting for the liquid to boil.
When the liquid comes to a boil, stir in the oats, cherries, brown sugar and salt. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the liquid has absorbed and it has reached your desired thickness.



Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sliced almonds. Divide the oats into single serving containers and refrigerate until you are ready to eat.
