Notes
*note 1 - Use certified gluten-free products if you want to make this recipe completely gluten-free.
I tried several frozen cherry brands and found that not all frozen cherries give oats a cute pink hue. Some cherries just don't release pink juice. But don't worry, it doesn't affect the taste!
