Instructions

Butter or spray with cooking spray a 9.5-inch glass (or ceramic) pie plate; set aside.
In a blender, process oats until finely ground like flour. Add remaining ingredients, except 1 tablespoon sugar and cherries; process until very smooth.
Pour only 1/4-inch of batter into pie plate. Place over a medium-hot stove burner and cook the batter until beginning to get firm – about 3-4 minutes. Sprinkle cherries over batter; sprinkle remaining 1 tablespoon sugar over cherries. Top with remaining batter.
Bake in a 350-degree oven for about 50-55 minutes until batter is set and a knife inserted into batter comes out nearly clean.
Serve warm or room temperature sprinkled with powdered sugar.
