Directions

  1. 1. In a small saucepan, combine water and salt. Bring to a full boil over high heat.
  2. 2. Stir in the oats, honey, and ground nutmeg. Cover, reduce to a gentle simmer, and cook 3–5 minutes until the oats reach your desired thickness.
  3. 3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt and a little honey until smooth.
  4. 4. Rinse the frozen cherries in a colander under hot tap water to thaw, then roughly chop.
  5. 5. When the oats are ready, fold in the chopped cherries and cook 1–2 minutes more to heat through.
  6. 6. Remove the pan from heat and portion the oatmeal into two bowls.
  7. 7. Spoon the honey yogurt over each serving, dividing it evenly.
  8. 8. Serve warm and enjoy the contrast between creamy oats, warm fruit, and tangy yogurt.

Two tips

  • Prep the cherries in advance if you like, so they’re ready to fold in quickly.
  • Swap the yogurt topping by using a dollop of extra oats with a drizzle of honey if you prefer a lighter finish.
