Yogurt, cherries and oats

Since I have always appreciated the untampered texture of yogurt, I have never yet combined yogurt and oats in quite this way (or mixed them quite as much). After having actually tried it, however, I wonder why I never did it before. When the mixture has chilled overnight, the oats absorb into the yogurt and soften, and the overall texture is smoother than if the oats were by themselves. The cherries add sufficient sweetness as to preclude my using artificial sweeteners at all (I call that a win).
