Equipment

medium saucepan
wooden spoon
measuring cups
knife
serving bowls

Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats
2 cups milk or water
1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
1 pinch salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
1 tbsp chia seeds (optional)
2 tbsp Greek yogurt (optional topping)

Instructions

Add rolled oats, milk or water, and a pinch of salt into a medium saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat while stirring occasionally.
Cook the oats for 5 to 10 minutes until soft and creamy.
Stir in the sliced strawberries during the final minute of cooking.
Add cinnamon and sweetener if desired, then stir well.
Serve warm with optional toppings like blueberries, banana slices, peanut butter, yogurt, or chia seeds.

Notes

For creamier oatmeal, use milk instead of water. Add strawberries during the final minute of cooking to preserve their fresh flavor and texture. Customize with blueberries, banana slices, peanut butter, chia seeds, yogurt, or honey. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheat with a splash of milk or water.
