Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Base oatmeal
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 cup milk or water Use milk for richer flavor; water works for a lighter bowl.
  • 2 oz cream cheese Softened so it melts smoothly into the oats.
  • 1 tbsp honey or sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 salt Pinch of salt.
Strawberry topping
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries Sliced.
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 whipped cream Optional.

Method
 

Cook the oats
  1. Add rolled oats and milk or water to a saucepan and cook over medium heat for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thick and creamy.
  2. Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in softened cream cheese, honey or sugar, vanilla extract, and salt, mixing vigorously until the cream cheese is fully melted and the oats are velvety.
Assemble the bowls
  1. Divide the hot oatmeal between two bowls.
  2. Top each bowl with sliced fresh strawberries, drizzle with honey, and sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the top.
  3. Add a dollop of whipped cream if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

For the smoothest cheesecake texture, soften the cream cheese fully before cooking so it melts quickly off the heat. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days; reheat with a splash of milk or water and stir until creamy again. Freezing isn’t recommended because the oats and cream cheese can change texture. If you want higher protein, use milk (or a high-protein milk alternative) instead of water.
