Strawberries and Cream Porridge is a warm, creamy breakfast — rolled oats cooked with milk and strawberries, sweetened lightly — then finished with a swirl of cream for a comforting, dessert‑like morning bowl.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk (or dairy‑free milk such as almond or oat)
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, chopped (plus extra for topping)
  • 1–2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (to taste)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: heavy cream or coconut cream (for serving/swirl)
  • Optional toppings: chopped nuts, chia seeds, extra sliced strawberries, drizzle of honey or syrup

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, combine oats, milk, and water. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  2. Stir in chopped strawberries, vanilla, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Cook for about 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and the porridge is creamy and thickened.
  4. Sweeten to taste with honey or maple syrup.
  5. Ladle the porridge into bowls. Swirl in a splash of cream or coconut cream if using.
  6. Top with extra strawberries and optional toppings (nuts, chia seeds, etc.) before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute quick oats — the porridge will cook faster but be softer in texture.
  • If using frozen strawberries, no need to thaw — they’ll break down as the oats cook.
  • For a dairy‑free version, use plant-based milk and coconut cream.
  • Add a spoonful of almond butter or Greek yogurt for extra protein and creaminess.
  • Leftovers keep in the fridge up to 3 days; reheat with a splash of milk for creaminess.
