A cozy, creamy oatmeal bowl featuring rolled oats, fresh strawberries and raspberries, vanilla, cinnamon, and a touch of honey, perfect for a healthy and festive Valentine’s Day breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90 g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 ½ cups (360 ml) milk (dairy or plant-based, e.g., unsweetened almond milk)
  • ½ cup (120 ml) water
  • ½ cup (75 g) fresh strawberries, sliced
  • ½ cup (60 g) fresh raspberries
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • ¼ cup (60 g) Greek yogurt (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (almonds or walnuts)
  • Dark chocolate shavings (optional)

Instructions

  1. Measure and combine oats, milk, and water in a medium saucepan. Stir gently to mix.
  2. Cook the oats over medium heat, bringing to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low. Stir occasionally and cook for 7-10 minutes until soft and creamy.
  3. Stir in vanilla extract and ground cinnamon once oats are nearly done.
  4. Remove saucepan from heat and stir in honey or maple syrup to taste.
  5. While oats cook, slice strawberries and gather raspberries. Chop nuts and shave dark chocolate if using.
  6. Spoon cooked oats into serving bowls. Top with fresh berries, sprinkle chia seeds if using, add chopped nuts, and dollop Greek yogurt if desired.
  7. Drizzle extra honey or maple syrup over the top and sprinkle with dark chocolate shavings if desired.

Notes

Use certified gluten-free oats for gluten-free diet. Add milk splash if oatmeal thickens too much before serving. Frozen berries can be used if fresh are unavailable; thaw and drain excess liquid. Add vanilla and cinnamon near the end of cooking to preserve flavor. Sweeten off heat to keep natural flavors intact.
