Make the cherry compote:
Add the pitted cherries, water and maple syrup to a saucepan and turn to medium heat. Once the mixture is simmering, cook and stir often, until the mixture reduces and the cherries are broken down - use a wooden spoon to smash the cherries. There should be only about 3-4 tablespoons of liquid left, this can take about 8-12 minutes (this can take longer if using frozen cherries).
Remove from the heat and stir in the almond extract and set aside to cool.
Assemble the chia seed pudding:
Once the cherry compote has cooled, make the chia pudding by adding the chia seeds, almond flour, milk and cold brewed coffee to a medium bowl. Set aside ¼ cup of the cherry compote and then add the rest to the chia seed pudding mixture, stir to combine.
Divide the chia seed pudding mixture into 2 jars, cover and refrigerate for 3-4 hours or overnight.
To serve, top each chia pudding with ¼ cup greek yogurt followed by 2 tbsp reserved cherry compote and ¼-½ cup granola of choice. Enjoy immediately!
Notes: If you prefer the chia seed pudding to be a bit looser, add up to ¼ cup more milk.
