Copycat Strawberries And Cream Oatmeal Recipes

Steps:

• Add milk to oats in a deep bowl and microwave 3-5 minutes, depending on your microwave wattage and desired thickness. Watch carefully so it doesn't spill over the sides!
• While oatmeal is cooking, wash and slice strawberries. Soft strawberries work well, so you may want to mash them a little bit, but that is up to you.
• When cereal is done, stir strawberries and sliced banana (if using) into oatmeal. If desired, add a little sugar or splenda.
• NOTE: It is also good with a little vanilla extract if you are using plain milk, just to give it some flavor. ALSO, You may need to re-heat oatmeal a little before eating if your strawberries cool it down too much.

Steps:

• Chop the berries and coat them with the sugar, set aside.
• In a small pot bring the water and milk to a simmer.
• Add in the berry/sugar mixture and bring to a boil.
• Add the oats and salt, cook 4 minutes.
• Add the vanilla and cook another minute or until desired consistency.

Steps:

• Layer the oats, flax seeds, chia seeds, coconut, strawberries and apples into two 1-pint jars.
• In a pitcher, mix up the milk, half-and-half, coconut milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla and salt. Pour over the seeds and fruit in the jars. Put the lids on the jars, shake them and place them in the fridge for at least 5 hours, but preferably overnight.
