A warm, heart-healthy oatmeal bowl perfect for Valentine’s Day mornings, combining wholesome ingredients with festive touches to delight kids and families.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (90 g)
  • 2 cups milk or milk alternative (475 ml)
  • ½ cup fresh strawberries, sliced (75 g)
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt (60 g, optional)
  • Pink sprinkles or edible heart decorations (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats and 2 cups milk of your choice. Stir to combine.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until oats are soft and creamy. Add more milk if mixture thickens too quickly.
  3. Stir in 1 mashed ripe banana, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Drizzle in 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup and adjust sweetness to taste.
  5. Remove from heat and optionally fold in 1 tablespoon chia seeds. Let sit for 1-2 minutes to thicken.
  6. While oats cook, slice ½ cup fresh strawberries and prepare any additional toppings like Greek yogurt or sprinkles.
  7. Spoon the warm oatmeal into bowls and top with sliced strawberries, a dollop of Greek yogurt if using, and sprinkle with pink sprinkles or edible hearts.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; stir frequently to prevent sticking. Adjust milk quantity to achieve desired creaminess. Add vanilla extract for enhanced flavor. For dairy-free or vegan versions, use plant-based milk and maple syrup instead of honey. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 2 days; reheat gently with a splash of milk.
