Ingredients
- ¾ cup plant-based milk
- 1 ½ cup of diced strawberries, divided
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¾ cup old-fashioned oats
- Sweetener of choice to taste (optional)
- ¼ cup of nuts or seeds (optional)
Instructions
- In a blender or food processor, blend the plant-based milk and ¾ cup of strawberries until smooth.
- Pour the strawberry vegan milk in a saucepan and heat over medium-low heat, add in oats and cinnamon. Reduce the heat to a low simmer and cover with a tilted lid for 5 minutes.
- Once the 5 minutes have passed, turn off the heat, fully close the lid and allow it to sit undisturbed for 5 minutes.
- Mix in the remaining ¾ cup strawberries and serve.
- Optionally add a sweetener or choice, nuts or seeds. Serve hot or cold.
Notes
- For thicker/thinner oatmeal: To thicken it, either simmer for longer or add a thickening ingredient (like chia seeds or vegan protein powder). To thin the oatmeal, add more water or plant-based milk.
- Sweeten to taste: Taste it at the end and optionally add sweetener to taste so you don’t accidentally over-sweeten the oatmeal.
- Simmer to cook: If the heat is too high, the oats will burn to the bottom.
- Be careful not to overcook it: Otherwise, the oatmeal can become mushy.
