A cozy and heartwarming oatmeal bowl featuring rolled oats cooked in vanilla-infused milk, topped with warm fresh strawberries, honey, cinnamon, and optional nutritious add-ins. Perfect for a romantic or special breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats (90g)
  • 2 cups milk of choice (480ml) – whole milk, almond, or oat milk
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries (150g), hulled and sliced
  • 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (120g) (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Pour 2 cups of your chosen milk into a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt. Warm until just about to simmer (3-5 minutes), but do not boil.
  2. Stir in 1 cup rolled oats. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes until oats are soft and creamy. Add more milk if mixture thickens too much.
  3. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and stir in 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup. Taste and adjust sweetness as desired.
  4. Hull and slice 1 cup fresh strawberries. Gently warm them in a small pan for 1-2 minutes to release juices, then set aside.
  5. Optional: Stir in 1 tablespoon chia seeds to the hot oatmeal for added texture and nutrition.
  6. Spoon oatmeal into serving bowls. Top with warm strawberries, a dollop of Greek yogurt if using, and sprinkle chopped nuts over the top.
  7. Drizzle extra honey or maple syrup if desired, and garnish with a pinch of cinnamon or fresh mint leaves.

Notes

Use certified gluten-free oats for gluten-free option. Frozen berries can be used if fresh are out of season—thaw and drain excess liquid before use. Stir frequently during cooking to prevent sticking and lumps. Toast nuts lightly for extra flavor. Add a splash of milk if oatmeal thickens too much after resting. Vegan version: use plant-based milk and substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt or omit.
