Oatmeal is boring and flavorless. Fresh fruit adds color and a light citrus pop to your boring breakfast of oatmeal. It's as fast as scrambling a couple of eggs, but without all the cholesterol. Oatmeal is a great vehicle for fresh fruit including peaches, blueberries and half a chopped apple (with a sprinkle of cinnamon). The Chef picked up a large one-pound crate of fresh strawberries at this 99c only Store yesterday. Strawberries are back! You will not use up all the stawberries with oatmeal, so trim and slice a few for a smoothie the next day. My smoothie recipe is here. Fresh strawberries in oatmeal is a great Deal of the Day.
Instructions (1-2 servings)About 4 whole strawberries
1 cup oatmeal (if instant follow directions)
1 and 3/4 cups water
Finish with butter, milk and honey (optional)
Directions
Add sliced strawberries and water to oatmeal. Cook at low heat for 5 minutes covered. Serve with a pat of butter and a drizzle of honey & milk.
I usually see oatmeal as just okay. But your picture actually makes it look much more than okay, it looks delicious!! Can't wait to try this recipe.
ReplyDeleteI picked up some strawberries from there myself, so happy to see they were carrying them!
Wow! Over 2 cups for one serving? I use half a cup oatmeal for myself and it's plenty.
ReplyDeleteI often skip lunch, so I eat a large portion.
