🧂 Ingredients

• 4 cups fresh sweet cherries*

  pitted and sliced in half
• 5 tablespoons water

  divided
• ¼ cup granulated sugar of choice*

  see notes
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• ⅓ cup coconut oil, refined
• 1 and ⅔ cup oat flour*
• ⅔ cup granulated sugar of choice*
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 and ⅓ cups almond milk, unsweetened

  or milk of choice
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

• 1 Preheat the oven to 350°F and set aside a 10-inch round or a 9x11 baking dish.
  If you use a pie plate, be sure it's a deep dish.
• 2 Pit the cherries and slice them in half. In a small bowl, stir together one
  tablespoon of cornstarch and two tablespoons of water. Set aside. Add the
  cherries, granulated sugar, and the remaining three tablespoons of water to a
  medium-size saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and stir in the
  cornstarch slurry. Simmer for about 5 minutes or until the mixture is thickened
  slightly. Remove from heat.
• 3 In a large bowl, whisk together the oat flour, granulated sugar, baking powder,
  cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in the almond milk and vanilla extract
  until relatively smooth, breaking up any lumps. Set aside.
• 4 Melt the coconut oil and pour it into the bottom of your baking dish. Pour the
  batter on top of the oil. Do not stir. Spoon the cherry mixture evenly (with the
  juice) on top of the batter. Do not stir that either.
• 5 Bake for 55-70 minutes or until the batter is set and slightly golden. Remove
  from the oven and allow to cool for at least 15 minutes.
• 6 Enjoy warm with a scoop of ice cream or whipped topping.
