Strawberries and Cream Oatmeal

A sweet steaming bowl of strawberries and cream oatmeal is quite possibly the epitome of breakfast comfort food.

📝 Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups rolled oats
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 4 cups water
• 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
• 1/4 cup brown sugar (maple syrup or honey)
• 1/4 cup cream (half and half or milk)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Combine the oats, salt, and water in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer on medium/low until the oats are tender and the oatmeal has thickened, about 5 minutes.
2. 2Add the strawberries when the oatmeal is almost done cooking. Allow the berries to warm in the oatmeal for just a minute and then remove from the heat and scoop into serving bowls.
3. 3Top with the sweetener of your choice and a drizzle of cream or milk.
