As you've all probably seen, lots of things come in the strawberry banana flavor. However, oatmeal is not one of them. They make bananas and cream and strawberries and cream but never a combination of the two. So, I decided, why not give it a try? The worst that could happen is that no one likes it. I cooked up a batch and the kids ate it up...strawberry banana is always a good combination!
1 3/4 Cup water
1 Cup quick oats
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
1 mashed banana
1/2 Cup frozen strawberries
1/4 Cup sugar
In a medium sized saucepan, boil water. Add quick oats and return to a rolling boil. Add sugar and vanilla, mixing until all sugar is dissolved. Stir in banana and strawberries. Continue mixing until oatmeal is fully cooked.
Now, as I've listed, I used the frozen strawberries because they were easier to get my hands on. While the kids loved the pink color the strawberries added to the oatmeal, there was a definite watered down tast. Next time I will most likely go for fresh berries. You can try whichever you'd like. If you find another banana berry combination you like, let me know, I'd love to try it!
