If you choose to add the muddled strawberries from the photo, put 1 cup of fresh strawberries, together with your sweetener of choice into your food processor. Pulse a couple of times until strawberries turn into a puree. Alternatively you could mash them with the back of a fork.

Notes
Types of oats: We recommend using old-fashioned rolled oats for the perfect consistency. Instant or quick oats usually soak up less liquid resulting in a thinner less chewy texture. I have not tried this recipe using steel-cut oats.
Consistency: feel free to add more or less water or yogurt if you prefer a thicker or runnier oatmeal.
Warm breakfast: These oats can also be heated- simply put them into the microwave for 1-2 minutes.
Storage: Refrigerate in a sealed container or mason jar for up to 4 days (though they taste best within the first day or two).
