This Strawberries and Cream Oatmeal is a deliciously creamy and sweet way to start your day. Packed with fresh strawberries and just the right amount of brown sugar, it feels like a dessert but will keep you satisfied and full of energy well into the day.

Ingredients

• • • 1 1/2 cups diced strawberries, divided

    • 1 cup milk

    • 1 cup water

    • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (or to taste)

    • 1 pinch salt

    • 1 cup oatmeal

    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Blend the strawberry mixture.
   In a blender, combine 3/4 cup of the diced strawberries with the milk, water, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and well combined.

2. Cook the oatmeal.
   Pour the blended strawberry mixture into a saucepan, then add the oatmeal. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer. Stir in the remaining diced strawberries and let it cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.

3. Add vanilla and serve.
   Remove the oatmeal from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Serve hot, and if you like, top with a few extra strawberries or a drizzle of cream for an extra treat.
