Notes

I buy a frozen cherry berry blend from Aldi and use this for this recipe. It has sweet and tart/sour cherries in it. You could also do a mix of whatever frozen (or fresh) pitted cherries and assorted berries you have on hand.

The frozen raspberries add a bright pink color to this oatmeal and a little tartness. They defrost really fast, so that's why I add them at the end.

The oatmeal is sweetened by the fruit and especially the ripe banana. But, you can certainly add sweetener to it, like maple syrup, sugar, brown sugar or whatever sweetener you like.
