Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups almond milk
- 1 cup strawberries, hulled and halved
- 1/4 cup pistachios, chopped
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions

- Spread the halved strawberries on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey over the strawberries and gently toss to coat.
- Roast the strawberries in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until they become soft and slightly caramelized. Remove from oven and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, combine rolled oats, almond milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine.
- Cook the oats over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes until they reach a creamy consistency.
- Remove the oats from heat and divide between two serving bowls.
- Top the oats with roasted strawberries, chopped pistachios, and drizzle the remaining honey over each serving.
- Serve warm and enjoy your nutritious and delicious morning oats.
Tips
- Choose Ripe Strawberries: For the best flavor, select ripe strawberries that are bright red and fragrant. This will enhance the sweetness of your roasted topping.
- Customize Your Sweetness: Feel free to adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup according to your taste preference. You can also try adding a pinch of cinnamon for an extra flavor kick!
- Experiment with Toppings: While pistachios add a lovely crunch, you can also try other nuts like almonds or walnuts, or even add seeds like chia or flax for added nutrition.
- Make Ahead: To save time in the morning, prepare the oats the night before and simply reheat them with a splash of almond milk before serving. The roasted strawberries can be made in advance as well!
- Add a Creamy Twist: For an even creamier texture, consider stirring in a dollop of Greek yogurt or a splash of coconut milk just before serving.
- Perfect for Meal Prep: This recipe is easily scalable! Make a larger batch to enjoy throughout the week—just store the components separately in the fridge and assemble when ready to eat.
