Stovetop Oats
I fell in love with stovetop oatmeal because of our Fluffy Banana Stovetop Oats. Perfectly creamy, thick & luscious, and healthy! I’m excited to be sharing a new stovetop oatmeal recipe with you today and it involves two of my favorites things…1. strawberries and 2. cream. 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. This strawberries and cream oatmeal recipe is indeed made on the stovetop and eaten warm. It’s also gluten-free and vegan, too! In order to get started, you need 7 simple ingredients.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.
- almond milk– any kind of milk will work for this recipe! Even cow’s milk or lactose-free milk.
- 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–Â when in doubt, add vanilla extract. A touch of vanilla brings out the lovely fruity hues of the strawberries.
- maple syrup–Â maple syrup is warm-tasting all-natural sugar that is going to make your oatmeal taste like dessert!
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. PS: if you were hoping for an overnight oats version of this recipe– try our Strawberry Vanilla Overnight Oats recipe for a similar vibe. It’s eaten cold instead of hot!

Absolutely delicious!!!! My kids and I love oatmeal, so I was so excited to try this one. I blended the chopped strawberries with the banana in my little food processor, then proceeded as written. I did however use only 3C (almond milk) and found that to be the perfect consistency for us. Ate with a dollop of vanilla frozen yogurt… Oh man, it’s so good!!! Thank you!
