Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1.5 cups milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- 0.5 cup water
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free)
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
- 0.25 cup extra strawberries for garnish
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, water, and a pinch of salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the mixture starts to boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and the mixture has thickened.
Stir in the diced strawberries, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, until the strawberries soften and release their juices.
Remove the saucepan from heat. Divide the oatmeal into two serving bowls.
Drizzle each bowl with 1 tablespoon of heavy cream to add richness.
Garnish with extra diced strawberries on top for a fresh and vibrant touch.
Serve warm and enjoy your delightful strawberries and cream oatmeal!
