Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup milk (or milk alternative)
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons strawberry-flavored syrup
• 2 tablespoons freeze-dried strawberries
• 2 tablespoons marshmallow bits (optional, for topping)
• 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 pinch pinch of salt
• 1 teaspoon honey or sugar (optional, for sweetness)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, water, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine.

Step 2

Set the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Step 3

Once the mixture begins to simmer, reduce the heat to low and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the oatmeal reaches your desired consistency.

Step 4

Stir in the strawberry-flavored syrup and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly until the oatmeal takes on a vibrant pink hue and the flavors are evenly distributed.

Step 5

Taste the oatmeal and, if needed, add honey or sugar to adjust the sweetness to your preference.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the oatmeal sit for 1-2 minutes to thicken slightly.

Step 7

Divide the oatmeal into two serving bowls. Top each bowl with freeze-dried strawberries and optional marshmallow bits for a fun, cereal-inspired finishing touch.

Step 8

Serve the Frankenberry Oatmeal warm and enjoy your whimsical, berry-infused breakfast.
