- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- Pinch of salt
Flavorings and Toppings
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt, ensuring all ingredients are well mixed before heating.
- Cook the Oatmeal: Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Then, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and to achieve creamy consistency.
- Add Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract to infuse a rich, aromatic flavor into the oatmeal.

- Serve Warm: Enjoy the oatmeal bowl warm, savoring the harmonious blend of fruity, chocolatey, and cookie flavors in every bite.
Notes
- You can substitute the milk with any dairy-free alternative like almond, oat, or soy milk to suit dietary preferences.
- Adjust brown sugar quantity for sweetness level to your preference.
- Use fresh strawberries for best flavor, but frozen can also be used when fresh are out of season.
- For a crunchier texture, you can lightly toast the Valentine cookies before crumbling.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated with a splash of milk to restore creaminess.
