Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 30 g Oats
- 270 ml Oat milk
- 100 g Strawberries
Seasonings and other
- a pinch Salt
- 1 tsp Honey
- 1 ml Vanilla extract
Instructions
- Cook the Oats
In a small saucepan, bring oat milk to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and add the oats along with salt. Cook gently, stirring occasionally, until the oats become soft and absorb most of the liquid, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and let rest for 2–3 minutes.
- Assemble and Serve
Transfer the oatmeal to a serving bowl, then drizzle about 20 ml of oat milk per serving on top. Add fresh strawberries, a splash of vanilla extract, and a drizzle of honey. Enjoy while it’s warm.
Tips for the best strawberry & cream oatmeal
- Slice the strawberries and toss them with the vanilla a few minutes before cooking. They release a little juice that flavours the bowl.
- Pour the extra oat milk on cold, just before serving: that's the "cream".
- Stir only now and then. Constant stirring makes oatmeal gluey.
- Out of season? Warm frozen strawberries in a small pan until jammy and spoon them over.
Variations
- Vegan: use maple syrup or agave instead of honey.
- Creamier: stir in a spoon of Greek yogurt or soy yogurt before serving.
- Add crunch with toasted almonds, hemp seeds or a little granola.
- Overnight oats: soak the oats in the oat milk overnight, then top with strawberries, vanilla and honey.
Storing
Best fresh. Cooked oats keep 3–4 days in the fridge; reheat with a splash of milk and add the strawberries after reheating.
