Peel the ripe banana and mash it thoroughly in a small bowl using a fork until it reaches a smooth consistency.
Rinse the fresh strawberries, remove the stems, and dice them into small pieces. Reserve a few slices for garnish, if desired.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, mashed banana, diced strawberries, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until the oats are soft and the mixture thickens, about 8-10 minutes.
If using chia seeds, stir them in during the last 2 minutes of cooking to allow them to absorb some of the liquid and thicken the oatmeal further.
Once cooked, remove the oatmeal from the heat and let it sit for 1-2 minutes to cool slightly.
Divide the oatmeal into two serving bowls. Top with reserved strawberry slices, and if desired, sprinkle with chopped walnuts or almonds for a crunchy topping.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Sugar-Free Strawberry Delight Oatmeal!
