Easy Oatmeal with Banana and Strawberries

Growing up in Spain, I never ate oatmeal. My grandmother used oats in baked goods, so I didn’t learn to like oatmeal until I moved to the States as an adult in college. That’s when I fell in love with oatmeal piled high with delicious toppings, like this mouthwatering strawberry banana oatmeal.

How to Make Strawberry Banana Oatmeal

As you’ll see in the video below, making this oatmeal is super simple:

Cook the oats.
Whether you use milk or water, the stovetop or microwave method, you'll want to cook your oats first. I use old-fashioned oats for the best results.
Add the fruit.
Once the oats are cooked, add half of the diced strawberries and sliced bananas and mix them with the oatmeal. You can also add them after, but the fresh and warm combo is terrific!
Toppings are optional.
Divide the cooked oatmeal into 4 bowls and top each with the remaining fresh fruit and more oatmeal toppings to your liking.

Pro tip: for best results, always measure your oats and water and avoid having to thicken oatmeal after it’s been cooked.
