Strawberry Oatmeal
Description
This oatmeal starts by blending plant-based milk with half the strawberries until smooth. This strawberry milk is heated gently on the stove before adding oats and cinnamon, then simmered covered at low heat for 5 minutes. After turning off the heat, it rests under a lid to finish thickening without stirring.
The remaining diced strawberries are folded in before serving, adding a fresh, juicy contrast to the creamy base. Optional toppings like nuts or seeds add crunch and texture, and sweetener can be added if desired for extra sweetness.
Adjust the oatmeal's thickness by simmering longer to thicken or adding more milk to thin. Careful cooking prevents burning or overcooking, preserving a pleasant oatmeal texture suitable for a wholesome breakfast or snack.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup plant-based milk
- 1 ½ cup strawberries divided, diced
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¾ cup old-fashioned oats
- sweetener optional, of choice, to taste
- ¼ cup nuts optional, or seeds
Instructions
- In a blender or food processor, blend the plant-based milk and ¾ cup of strawberries until smooth.
- Pour the strawberry vegan milk in a saucepan and heat over medium-low heat, add in oats and cinnamon. Reduce the heat to a low simmer and cover with a tilted lid for 5 minutes.
- Once the 5 minutes have passed, turn off the heat, fully close the lid and allow it to sit undisturbed for 5 minutes.
- Mix in the remaining ¾ cup strawberries and serve.
- Optionally add a sweetener or choice, nuts or seeds. Serve hot or cold.
Notes
- To thicken oatmeal, simmer longer or add thickening ingredients like chia seeds or vegan protein powder.
- Add more plant-based milk or water to thin the oatmeal if needed.
- Taste before serving and add sweetener gradually to prevent over-sweetening.
- Cook oatmeal at low heat to avoid burning at the bottom.
- Avoid overcooking to keep a desirable texture; the oatmeal should not get mushy.
