A warm, nutty oatmeal bowl featuring fresh strawberries and rich dark chocolate, perfect for a quick, wholesome breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (90g)
  • 2 cups water or milk (480ml) – dairy-free options like almond or oat milk recommended
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries (150g), hulled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (45g) – 70% cacao or higher
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 12 tablespoons pure maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Combine oats and liquid: In a medium saucepan, add 1 cup rolled oats and 2 cups water or milk. Add a pinch of sea salt. Stir gently to combine.
  2. Cook the oats: Place the pan over medium heat and bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook for 8-10 minutes until oats are soft and creamy.
  3. Add cinnamon and vanilla: Stir in 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Sweeten the oats: Remove from heat and mix in 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey, adjusting to taste. Optionally stir in 1 tablespoon chia seeds for extra fiber.
  5. Prepare the strawberries: While oats cook, hull and slice 1 cup fresh strawberries. Set aside.
  6. Assemble the bowl: Spoon the cooked oatmeal into serving bowls. Top generously with sliced strawberries and 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips.
  7. Final touch: Let the warm oats slightly melt the chocolate chips. Optionally sprinkle extra cinnamon or chia seeds on top.

Notes

If oats get too thick, stir in a splash of milk to loosen. Use rolled oats for best creamy texture. Bring liquid to room temperature before cooking to avoid clumping. Can be made ahead and reheated with milk. For gluten-free, use certified gluten-free oats. Frozen strawberries should be thawed and drained before use.
