Directions

1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add pineapple, 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon; cook 5 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Cool completely. Makes about 1 cup pineapple mixture.

2. Stir oats, milk, protein powder, and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a medium bowl. Makes about 4 cups oat mixture.

3. Divide oat mixture into 4 (8-ounce) glass jars with lids; top each with 1/4 cup pineapple mixture. Cover jars with lids; refrigerate at least 12 hours or up to overnight. Makes 4 jars.

4. Serve jars topped with cherries and almonds, if desired.

Chef Tip:

For a thinner overnight oats consistency, add additional soy milk in step 2.
