Directions

  1. Put the oats and flax seeds into a blender and grind until they are fine. (If you are using ground flax, no need to grind it–just add it with the other dry ingredients.) Stir a couple of times to make sure that they’re uniformly ground.
  2. Mix the oat flour with the other dry ingredients. Make a well in the middle, add the remaining ingredients, including cherries, and stir until moistened and completely combined, but don’t over-mix.
  3. Pour into the prepared pan (batter will be thick).
  4. Bake for 30-40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Allow to cool for at least 15 minutes. Enjoy!
