Strawberry And Cream Oatmeal
When it’s strawberry season, I can’t resist heading to my greenhouse and picking as many fresh strawberries as I can carry.
There’s something so satisfying about knowing they’re freshly picked and bursting with flavor. One of my favorite ways to use them, other than freeze drying them, is in a bowl of strawberry and cream oatmeal.

Strawberry And Cream Oatmeal Ingredients
This will give you two small portions of oatmeal for breakfast. I find it’s a great portion for two, with fresh fruit on the side.
- 1 cup Rolled Oats
- 1 cups water
- 1 cup heavy cream (I like to use 18%)
- 1/4 teaspoon Celtic sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon real vanilla
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup
Strawberry And Cream Oatmeal Recipe Steps
1. Cook the oats: In a medium saucepan, bring the water and cream to a boil. Add the rolled oats and sea salt, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and creamy.
2. Add the vanilla: Stir in the vanilla. Let it simmer for another minute, allowing the flavors to combine and the oats to become extra creamy.
3. Assemble the bowls: Spoon the oatmeal into serving bowls. Add a dollop of yogurt on top and arrange the strawberries over the oatmeal. Drizzle maple syrup.
4. Serve and enjoy: Give it a gentle stir to combine the creamy yogurt, fresh strawberries, and oatmeal. Enjoy your warm, comforting bowl of strawberries and cream oatmeal!
Topping Ideas for Strawberry And Cream Oatmeal
1. Chopped Nuts
Sprinkle some chopped almonds, walnuts, or pecans over your oatmeal for a satisfying crunch. Nuts add a rich, nutty flavor that pairs beautifully with the creamy oats and sweet strawberries. Here’s a list of nuts to add to warm oatmeal.
2. Shredded Coconut
Add a sprinkle of unsweetened shredded coconut. Toast the coconut lightly for an extra layer of flavor and a golden, nutty touch. This goes really well with the strawberries.
3. Callebaut Chocolate Shavings
For a touch of indulgence, shave some chocolate on top. The warmth of the oatmeal will gently melt the chocolate, creating little pockets of gooey sweetness. It’s a great way to turn your strawberries and cream oatmeal into a dessert-like treat.
4. Granola
Top your oatmeal with a handful of granola for extra crunch and texture. The combination of creamy oats and crisp granola creates a delightful contrast in every bite. Here’s an easy wholesome granola recipe.
5. Chia Seeds
Sprinkle some chia seeds on top for a boost of nutrition and a subtle crunch. These tiny seeds are rich in fiber, omega-3s, and antioxidants, making your oatmeal even more wholesome.
