STRAWBERRIES
It's currently strawberry season and Wimbledon is starting in a few weeks time, which means it's time for Strawberries and cream. Strawberries are currently at their best and super sweet.
I love adding strawberries to the oats and serve the oats with additional strawberries. The strawberries I serve with the oats I chop into quarters (or smaller) and drizzle them with a bit of maple syrup. This will give it a similar effect as macerated strawberries. Delicious!
AND CREAM
No cream is used in this oats, however I used a vegan Greek-style yoghurt to make it extra creamy, rich and thick.
You could use a soy-based cream to make it extra creamy, but in my opinion the yoghurt is just perfect for this.
I used the Oatly Greek-style.
YOU WILL NEED
Rolled oats, gluten-free certified if needed
Almond milk
Vegan Greek-style yoghurt
Fresh strawberries
Maple syrup
and a pinch of salt
SWEET
Depending on the sweetness of the strawberries, you might want to adjust the amount of maple syrup you use.
A great alternative for the maple syrup is honey or agave syrup.
MAKE IT REFINED SUGAR-FREE
If you want to keep this fruit-sweetened only you can use a mashed banana as the sweetener in the oats.
ALTERNATIVES / ADDITIONAL
Substitute the Greek-style yoghurt with a vegan vanilla yoghurt
Make it high-protein by adding a scoop of vanilla protein powder to your oats. You might have to increase the almond milk quantity.
