Cherry Almond Oatmeal

This is a delicious healthy breakfast. This is only a half serving as I never finish a full serving but feel free to double the recipe.

Cherry Almond Oatmeal

Serves 1

1/2-3/4 cup milk (depending on how thick you want it)

1/3 cup chopped frozen dark sweet cherries

1/4 cup Oats (I used 1 min quick oats but regular is fine)

1 tsp brown sugar

1/8 tsp almond extract

1 TB slivered almonds

1. Chop frozen cherries and add to milk in small saucepan. I usually start with 1/2 cup milk and add more later if I want to thin it out. Then add brown sugar and almond extract.

2. Once milk starts to simmer add oats. Cook 1 minute or longer depending on the type of oats you use. Add extra milk if desired.

3. Stir in slivered almonds or sprinkle on top in bowl
