Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 cup fresh strawberries
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 0.25 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons chopped almonds or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, water, milk, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Reduce the heat to low and let the oatmeal simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until it reaches your desired consistency.
While the oatmeal is cooking, wash and hull the strawberries. Dice half of the strawberries and set them aside for mixing into the oatmeal.
Reserve the remaining strawberries for garnish, slicing them if desired.
When the oatmeal is cooked, stir in the diced strawberries, vanilla extract, and honey (or maple syrup). Mix well to combine.
Remove from heat and let the oatmeal sit for 1-2 minutes to thicken slightly.
Divide the oatmeal into two bowls. Top with the reserved sliced strawberries and a sprinkle of chopped almonds or walnuts, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your Strawberry Cinnamon Oatmeal!
