Directions
- In a small saucepan, combine a pinch of salt with the milk and place over high heat until it just starts to boil.
- When boiling, stir in the oats, cocoa powder, and maple syrup; whisk to blend.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 3–5 minutes until the oats are soft and absorb the liquid to your liking.
- While the oats simmer, rinse the strawberries, then hull and slice them.
- Divide the finished oats between two bowls.
- Top each portion with the sliced strawberries and a handful of almonds.
- Pour a splash of milk over the tops if you like a milder finish, and serve warm.
- Enjoy a cozy bowl that balances creamy texture with bright fruit and a hint of cocoa.
Two tips
- Make-ahead: cook a batch of oats, refrigerate, and reheat with a splash of milk.
- Serving idea: swap strawberries for sliced bananas or use a drizzle of maple syrup over the top.
