Ingredients

  • Old-fashioned rolled oats
  • Milk or water (or a combination)
  • Fresh or frozen strawberries, chopped
  • Maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • A pinch of salt
  • Vanilla extract (optional)
  • Ground cinnamon (optional)
  • Sliced fresh strawberries (optional topping)
  • Chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional topping)
  • Chopped nuts: almonds, walnuts, pecans (optional topping)
  • Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt (optional topping)
  • Nut butter (optional topping)
  • Shredded coconut (optional topping)

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, combine oats, milk or water, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  2. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5–7 minutes until the oats are tender and creamy.
  3. Add chopped strawberries and cook for 2–3 more minutes, until softened and slightly melted into the oatmeal.
  4. Stir in maple syrup and vanilla extract, if using.
  5. Spoon into bowls and top with sliced strawberries, nuts, seeds, yogurt, or any preferred toppings.
  6. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use frozen strawberries if fresh are unavailable—just cook slightly longer.
  • Make it vegan by using plant-based milk and maple syrup.
  • Add mashed banana for extra sweetness and creaminess.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat with a splash of milk or water.
  • Customize with toppings like nut butter, coconut, or protein powder for a nutrition boost.
