For the creamiest texture and easiest morning breakfast, refrigerate overnight.When ready to eat, stir the oats. If they are thicker than you prefer, add a small splash of milk and mix again.Top with additional fresh strawberries, graham cracker crumbs, and strawberry jam, if desired.Serve chilled and enjoy.
Notes
Fresh strawberries provide the brightest flavor, but you can adjust the amount depending on how fruity you want your oats.
Honey and maple syrup both work as sweeteners. Start with a small amount, taste after chilling, and add more when serving if necessary.
For an extra strawberry cheesecake effect, swirl a little strawberry jam through the oats immediately before eating rather than mixing it completely.
Crushed graham crackers are optional but provide a pleasant contrast to the creamy oats and recreate some of the flavor of a cheesecake crust.
