This hearty breakfast from Eat The Gains features delicious fall spices and flavors like cinnamon and pumpkin. It can easily be made ahead of time as part of meal prep and the filling fiber from oats keeps you satiated until lunch. If you can’t find fresh cherries (or don’t like them) feel free to use the fruit of your choice. You can also substitute any nut butter and make it vegan by using flax eggs instead.
