Strawberry Oatmeal Recipe
When I have time, I will use breakfast to try out new recipes and combinations. But sometimes, there just isn’t the time.
For so many of us, breakfast needs to be quick and convenient without having to think. This is why oatmeal with milk is such a good choice, even if it can be a little uninspiring.
If you love to use a blender in the morning, this recipe is for you. By blending your oatmeal with strawberries, you can add fresh, sweet notes, while still enjoying the benefits of your morning oats.
There’s so much room to experiment with additions and toppings, and you can really make this a morning staple all the family can enjoy to kickstart the day.
Ingredients
To make my strawberry oatmeal recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- Oats – 1 cup oats
- Milk – 2 1/2 cups milk
- Salt – pinch of salt
- Honey – 2 tbsp of honey (plus more to taste to top the oatmeal)
- Strawberries – 3 cups fresh strawberries (10.5 oz or 300 grams)
Ingredient Notes
Oats – I used Scottish oats, but you can also use rolled oats or quick-cooking oats. If using steel-cut oats (not the quick-cooking steel-cut oats), you generally need to simmer for about 20 minutes. In this case, increase the liquid by adding another half cup of milk or water.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1 – Remove the stem from the strawberries and blend the milk and two-thirds of the strawberries. Set aside 1/3 of the strawberries to top the oatmeal later.
Step 2 – To a pot, over medium heat, add the strawberry-milk mixture, salt, honey, and oats.
Step 3 – Bring the oatmeal to a boil, stirring occasionally. Once it’s boiling, turn the heat to low and keep stirring for around 5 minutes or until you get the desired consistency.
Step 4 – Serve it in your favorite breakfast bowl.
Top with fresh strawberries and more honey (to taste).
Serving Suggestions
Other toppings you could try include chopped fruits, such as kiwi, banana, or mango, along with so many others.
You could also give this a try with some chopped almonds or other crushed nuts.
There’s so much room for creativity and to make this oatmeal the way you like it.
When you have some spare time in the morning, don’t forget to try my blueberry oatmeal as well and see which one you like the most.
You can add so much more fun, flavor, and excitement to your morning oatmeal with a recipe like this.
Especially with kids, this adds freshness and sweetness to a dish that, while nutritious, can sometimes be a little bland.
If you make it, please let me know in the comments if you and everyone who tried it loved it and what toppings you added to it.
