The classic strawberry cheesecake is transformed into a healthy-ish breakfast

Since I was a child, my favorite fruit has always been and will always be the scrumdiddlyumptious STRAWBERRY! I adore strawberries for their tart sweetness and gorgeous ruby red color. These tasty gems pair perfectly with mildly salty cream cheese in this original Royal Oats Strawberry Cheesecake Oatmeal recipe. Consider this the healthy-ish alternative to strawberry cheesecake for breakfast (lol).

What is the BEST type of strawberry for this recipe?

The most intense and delicious strawberry flavor I was able to pack into this bowl of yumminess came from frozen sliced strawberries in sugar (defrosted of course). This is very important because fresh, frozen strawberries not in sugar, or even strawberry jam and preserves just don’t provide the most intense flavor and color that frozen sliced strawberries in sugar do. Here’s the breakdown:

  • Fresh?–Sure, but they may lose their vibrant red color when cooked and will require an adequate amount of sugar or sweetener.
  • Frozen (not in sugar)?–Perhaps. But they cook similarly to fresh ones and can end up a bit mushier. Also, they come whole or sliced, so get the sliced ones to make it easier on yourself.
  • Jam or preserves?–Uh, uh. At least, no on their own. You will end up having to use quite a bit and you’ll mostly taste sweetness without many juicy strawberry pieces.
  • Frozen sliced in sugar?–HECK YEAH! They are nice and sweet, a little tart, super-duper red (due to food coloring), and oh-so-very-strawberry-y!

Strawberry substitutions, so you can use what you’ve got!

So, look. With all of that being said, I encourage you to use whatever you have handy in your kitchen because times are tough these days. If you use fresh or unsweetened frozen strawberries, just add 1 tbsp sugar or sweetener to every 1/2 cup of strawberries. To achieve that bright red hue, add a couple of drops of red food coloring if you like. Perfectionism is not a requirement (or a reality, for that matter), so work with what you have on hand.
