How To Make Fudgy Balsamic Oatmeal With Strawberry-Basil Relish [Vegan]
- Bring milk to a boil, add oats, and reduce heat to simmer. (If you'd like to add flax or chia seeds, do so now.)
- Add strawberries, cocoa powder, balsamic, and salt, and let simmer for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Prepare the Strawberry-Basil Relish: while oatmeal is simmering, dice strawberries into small pieces, like the size of a typical pickle relish. Mince the fresh basil. Toss together and set aside.
- Back to the oatmeal: once more of the liquid has absorbed, taste, and add optional sweetener if desired.
- When you're pleased with the consistency of the oatmeal, transfer to a bowl. Add a splash of your milk of choice and top with Strawberry-Basil Relish.
