Preparation:

1. For the cherry jam, in a small pot, bring the water and the cherries to a boil. Then mash the cherries (I used a blender for this) and let it cook for another 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and add the chia seeds. Once it has cooled down, store it in the fridge.

2. In a bowl, mash the banana, then add the oats, almond milk, chia seeds and vanilla, and mix gently. Let the mixture thicken a little bit in the fridge.

3. In a jar, for the first layer put 1-2 tbsp of the cherry jam, then add the oats, and let it overnight in the fridge.

4. In the morning add the toppings and it’s ready to eat.
