Maybe it's just me, but I saw about 50 different cherry recipe round-up posts last week! Holy cow! Not saying that's a bad thing though, I mean, who doesn't love cherries? Not me! I adore them! During the the rest of the year, when it's not cherry season, I forget just how much I love this little fruit. I never remember that I do consider the cherry one of my favorite fruits. Then summer hits and cherry season is at it's peak; the love and remembrance comes flooding back with a vengeance!

Now, I've always loved cherries (all fruit really), but I can pin-point the cherry-loving to a few summers ago when it really hit me. My dad has a Costco membership and as you know, Costco is all bulk. We only use it now for water buying (haha), but he used to go crazy with fruit and bring home tons and tons! (Way more than we needed since no one in my family seems to eat it...except me). But one summer it must have been The Summer of Cherry Perfection. The big crates he would bring home of the most perfect, sweet, firm, dark cherry juicy cherries never lasted long! From that summer on I feel in love.

Since I know I'm not the only one who has a deep cherry obsession, when I dug up this gem of a recipe circa summer of 2014, I knew it was time to share! As you know from my showstopper Cinnamon Cookie Oat Bake I shared a few weeks ago, I was also obsessed with oat bakes that summer. This one will not disappoint in the oat bake department! Plus, do I even need to talk about the chocolate factor? I think not πŸ˜‰ Cherries go with chocolate like peanut butter and jelly. Actually, chocolate goes with everything, but cherry is always a great pairing option!

I don't know about you, but I;m craving some cherries right now! I wish I have a cherry tree. That would come in handy. Now I know this looks like dessert, but no, it's breakfast, trust me! Cherry chocolate decadence can be healthy and had for breakfast EVERY day of the week and I just proved that to you. Now go gather your cherries and make this oat bake for breakfast...and maybe make an extra for dessert too. I won't tell!

So tell me:

+ Are you a cherry-lover? I hope so!

+ Of the small summer fruits (cherries and berries) which is you favorite? I think my top 3 would be cherries, strawberries, and bluebabies πŸ˜‰

    Cherry-vanilla is such a great flavor combo. This looks fabulous! I can't wait for t to cool off enough to have a warm breakfast.

    You know I'm a cherry lover because you saw the cherry roundup on my blog. πŸ˜‰ This looks so good!

    Cherries top all other summer fruit because it's the one thing that I can't buy during other seasons.

    This oat bake looks especially decadent and dessert-like! Some oat bakes end up looking sort of dry and day-old oatmeal-y, but this looks like gooey delicious almost pudding like, and that makes me want a bit very badly <3 Very yummy, this totally looks like something to whip up any time of day πŸ™‚ And once you mentioned cherry + chocolate being like PB&J I started thinking hmm cherry jelly + + dark chocolate PB sandwich??? :/ It could work!

    so LOVE cherries. I get so excited when they are in season and then I go on a cherry rampage. I'm very territorial about my cherries πŸ˜‰ Love the chocolate oat bake that you added them to! Great combo. I think if i had to pick three summer fruits it would be cherries, peaches and blackberries. Yum!

      Once you taste GOOD cherries, it makes all the difference in liking them. Most of the time....the batches of cherries kinda suck. But sometimes you're lucky with a perfect batch and then you fall in love all over again!
