- 1/2 cup old fashioned or rolled oats (I love Bob's Red Mill)
- 1/2 cup strawberries, washed & chopped (more or less as desired)
- 2/3 cup water or milk
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/2 - 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar (honey, maple syrup or other sweetener would work too)
- 1 tablespoon roughly chopped walnuts
Combine oatmeal, strawberries, water or milk, chia seeds and cinnamon (if using) in a non-stick pot over medium-low heat.
Stir to combine then allow oats to begin to cook (you'll notice some bubbling start around the edges). Once the bubbling begins, stir for 1-2 minutes and then lower heat & continue to stir until all the oats are gelatinous and cooked.
Remove from heat, top immediately with brown sugar and walnuts, then serve.
