Chef notes
Almond extract is strong, so measure it carefully; half a teaspoon gives the Bakewell flavour without overpowering the cherries.
Substitutions
- Fresh cherries — frozen cherries, thawed, or tinned cherries, drained
- Milk — oat milk or almond milk
- Maple syrup — honey or brown sugar
Serving suggestions
Serve with a spoonful of yogurt or a drizzle of cream.
Storage
Cover and keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheating
Reheat a portion in the microwave for 1 minute, adding a splash of milk if it looks dry.
Equipment
- Small baking dish
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk
Variations
- Raspberry: swap cherries for raspberries and use raspberry jam
- Chocolate cherry: stir in 1 tablespoon chocolate chips with the oats
- Nut-free: leave out the almonds and top with extra cherries
Why it works
Oats absorb the milk and egg as they bake, setting into a soft, sliceable cake, while almond extract and cherries recreate the Bakewell flavour without pastry.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use frozen cherries?
Yes. Thaw and drain them first so the oats do not turn soggy.
Can I make baked oats ahead?
Yes. Bake, cool and refrigerate for up to 3 days, then reheat one portion at a time.
