I’ve been a bad blogger – I mentioned this recipe before I left for the beach and it took way too long to share it with you! I’m trying to get caught up on blog reading, but for now, enjoy the recipe!
My investment in a cherry pitter has been completely worth it.
Not only did I make this cherry cobbler for one about 4 times, I also froze the remaining 8lbs of cherries that I bought while they were on sale.
Simple, low fat topping mixed up in the magic bullet.
A little bit of milk to mix everything together…
Two minutes later, all done – without even turning on the oven.

It should probably be classified as dessert, but I like to add some greek yogurt and call it breakfast.
Microwave Cherry Cobbler
Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 1 cup cherries, pitted
- 1/4 cup oats, divided (3 Tbsp + 1 Tbsp)
- 1 Tbsp ground flaxseed
- 1 scoop protein powder, optional (I used MRM vanilla whey)
- pinch cinnamon
- tiny pinch salt
- vanilla stevia (or 1 Tbsp sugar + 1/8 tsp vanilla extract)
- 1 Tbsp milk
Instructions
Spray coffee mug with cooking spray.
Add pitted cherries.
Set aside 1 Tbsp of oats. Combine remaining dry ingredients in a blender or Magic Bullet, pulsing until well combined. Stir in remaining oats.
Add milk & vanilla to dry mixture, then spray evenly on top of cherries.
Microwave 2 minutes, until topping appears solid and dry.
I don’t think I’ll ever get sick of cherries.

I love the look of your cherry stoner. What a handy gadget. And that was such a good idea to freeze all those wonderful cherries. What fun you will have cooking with them long after they are no longer in season xx

What a cool tool! I would love to try one, I have actually never seen one. Maybe I should invest. Cherries are great this time of year.

Exactly – not having central air makes me avoid turning on the oven!
This is right up my alley because I love using the microwave and what is better than dessert for breakfast?!

Agreed!
I have yet to purchase cherries this summer due to not owning a cherry pitter but I will have to pick one up!! I love microwave dishes makes life so simple! Love and Shine CourtStar
It seemed like a silly investment but worth it after pitting 3 bags in less than an hour!
I completely support cherry cobbler for breakfast! And I love that this recipe is so easy…and quick! I’ve been getting my cherry fix all summer, and am sad that their season is almost over!
I know, that’s why I froze a bunch! Let me know if you need me to ship you some.
