Chill Cocoa-Cherry Silken Tofu Overnight Oats

These cocoa-cherry overnight oats use blended silken tofu to create a creamy base without protein powder. Rolled oats and chia thicken the mixture while cherries add tart sweetness and color. The recipe makes two jars. The amount that suits a person depends on hunger, activity, side dishes, health, and the rest of the day, so one illustrated jar should not be treated as a universal serving rule. Gather eight ounces silken tofu, one cup milk or an unsweetened suitable alternative, two tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, one to two tablespoons maple syrup or another preferred sweetener, one teaspoon vanilla, one cup rolled oats, two tablespoons chia seeds, and one cup pitted fresh or frozen cherries. Optional toppings include cacao nibs, chopped nuts, seeds, yogurt, or extra fruit. Use certified gluten-free oats when needed and inspect every package for allergen information. Add the tofu, milk, cocoa, sweetener, and vanilla to a blender. Blend until completely smooth, pausing to scrape the sides if necessary. Pour the mixture into a bowl and stir in the rolled oats and chia. Fold in half of the cherries, keeping the rest for the top. Divide the mixture between two clean jars or covered containers. Refrigerate for at least six hours or overnight so the oats and chia soften. Before serving, stir each jar and add a small splash of milk if the mixture is thicker than preferred. Top with the remaining cherries and any optional crunchy ingredient. Frozen cherries may release extra juice as they thaw; this is normal and can be stirred through the oats. Silken tofu is made from soy, a major allergen. Milk and yogurt may contain dairy, while nuts introduce another major allergen. Prevent cross-contact when preparing food for someone with an allergy. People who cannot use soy need a different tested recipe base rather than assuming another ingredient will behave identically. Cherries contain pits, so check carefully even when a package is labeled pitted. Keep the jars refrigerated and use them within three to four days. If carried to work or school, use an insulated bag with a cold pack. Do not leave the mixture at room temperature for extended periods. The recipe is designed for cold eating; if warming it, transfer it to a microwave-safe bowl and heat carefully, stirring to prevent hot spots. African Mango Plus is attached only as the closest existing weight-management product in the catalog.
