Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk (or low sodium plant-based milk)
- 1 cup Fresh strawberries
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Pure maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats and unsweetened almond milk.
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture starts to simmer, about 5 minutes.
Add the fresh strawberries (reserve a few for topping), ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract to the pot. Stir well.
Lower the heat to medium-low and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats have absorbed the liquid and reach the desired consistency.
Taste the oatmeal and, if desired, stir in the pure maple syrup for added sweetness.
Remove the saucepan from heat and divide the oatmeal into two bowls.
Top each bowl with the reserved fresh strawberries and optional chopped nuts.
Serve warm and enjoy your low sodium strawberry delight oatmeal!
