Ingredients

- Then add the last 1/2 cup of almond milk and simmer for 10 more minutes while stirring then remove the pot from the heat.
- Finally, add the strawberries to the pot and stir together. Serve oatmeal in one large bowl or two separate bowls, top with coconut milk, and enjoy!.
Notes
Overnight method: Bring 1 cup water + 1/2 cup coconut milk + 1/2 cup almond milk to a boil. Add the oats, cover with a lid and allow to cook for one minute. Then turn off the heat and allow to sit overnight. In the morning, add the rest of the almond milk and turn the heat on low to medium. Stir the oats and allow to cook until most of the liquid has absorbed, about five minutes. Add the strawberries, top with coconut milk and serve.
Note: I like my oatmeal creamy, not dry. If you prefer your oatmeal drier, leave out 1/2 cup of the liquid
