Easy Strawberry Oatmeal Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (any kind – dairy or plant-based works!)
- 2–3 fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 tbsp peanut butter
- 1 tsp honey
Optional Add-Ins: chia seeds, cinnamon, sliced banana, or a drizzle of maple syrup
Instructions (So Easy, I Promise!)
- Cook the oats – In a small pot, combine the oats and milk. Cook over medium heat until the mixture starts to boil, stirring occasionally.
- Simmer – Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low. Keep stirring for about 5 minutes until the oatmeal thickens to your liking. (Don’t skip the stirring—it keeps the oats from sticking!)
- Top it off – Pour the oatmeal into a bowl, then add your peanut butter, drizzle with honey, and toss on those beautiful sliced strawberries.
That’s it. You’re done. And yes — it really is that simple.
Pro Tips for Perfect Oatmeal Every Time
- Want it creamier? Use full-fat milk or add a splash of cream.
- Prefer a thinner texture? Add an extra 1/4 cup milk during cooking.
- Not a fan of peanut butter? Almond butter or even Nutella are delicious swaps.
- Meal prep it! You can pre-slice your strawberries and portion your oats for an even faster morning.
