Ingredients
  • ½ cup oat bran cooked per package directions
  • 2 cups water
  • ¼ teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 tablespoon cream cheese
  • 5.3 ounce container Cherry Greek yogurt
  • ½ teaspoon agave
  • ⅔ cup frozen cherries, slightly defrosted
  • 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
  • 1 graham cracker sheet, crumbled
Instructions
  1. In a small bowl whisk together cream cheese, yogurt and agave. Set aside. Set cherries out to defrost or place in microwave for 15 seconds (I prefer mine slightly cold). Cook oat bran according to package instructions. Divide amongst 2 bowls. Top each bowl with half of yogurt mixture, ⅓ cup cherries, 1 tablespoon sliced almonds and half of the graham cracker crumbs. Dig in and enjoy!
Notes
I do not sweeten my oat bran because the toppings have enough sugar to sweeten it up, but feel free to adjust as needed. You can stir a little sweetener directly into the hot cereal such as agave, honey, brown sugar or stevia. You can also prepare your oats using milk in place of water.
