In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, water, and salt. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the mixture starts to boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the oats are tender and the porridge reaches your desired consistency.
While the oatmeal is cooking, prepare the strawberries by hulling and dicing them into small pieces.
When the oatmeal is done, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Divide the cooked oatmeal between two bowls.
Top each bowl with the fresh diced strawberries, a drizzle of heavy cream, and a teaspoon of maple syrup or honey for sweetness. Sprinkle with chopped nuts if desired.
Serve the oatmeal warm and enjoy a comforting, creamy breakfast!
