• 6-8oz dried tart cherries
• 1/4-1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

• Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
• Bring oats and water to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. let it cook, stirring every 5 minutes or so, for 20 minutes until most of the water is absorbed.
• Transfer to a bowl to start cooling and add the coconut oil, cinnamon, flaxseed meal, chia seeds, hemp seeds, and salt. Stir them all together and let sit for 20 minutes to cool.
• Lightly beat the eggs and stir them into the cooled oatmeal mixture
• Stir in the cherries and chocolate chips
• Scoop in 1/4 cup portions onto a lined baking sheet. Flatten them out just a little to an even thickness.
• Bake for 15 minutes

• Store in an air tight container in the refrigerator or freezer. I like to warm mine up just a little before eating.
