Strawberries and cream is a flavor combo that I just can't get over. I love the freshness of the berries and cream adds that aspect of indulgence that I just love.

What You Need
-
rolled oats
-- rolled oats are my favorite kind of oats to use for stovetop oats. They cook quickly and the texture is amazing.
-
banana- banana helps add all-natural sweetness to this recipe without adding refined sugar.
-
strawberries- we recommend using fresh strawberries, but frozen will do the trick, too!
-
chia seeds
-- chia seeds add volume to stovetop oats and I promise you that you don't want to skip them. Plus, they add omega-3 fatty acids, too!
-
vanilla extract
-- when in doubt, add vanilla extract. A touch of vanilla brings out the lovely fruity hues of the strawberries.

Fun Flavor Swaps
This is a great base recipe for you to take and play with. Here are some fun swaps for you to try!
Strawberries:
Try using 2 cups of a different fruit such as blueberries, peaches, nectarines, or apples for a completely different vibe!
Maple Syrup:
No maple on hand? No problem! Feel free to swap in honey or agave instead.
Vanilla Extract:
Instead of vanilla extract, try adding almond extract or even a little bit of orange or lemon extract.
