All my oatmeal recipes contain cinnamon, maple syrup, cardamom and almond milk. These are all the flavour boosters that go into all my oatmeals. Rest of the ingredients you can add according to what you have in hand or depending on the flavours that you want.

How to make the best Vegan Banana Peanutbutter Oatmeal

Oats – Any type of oats can be used for this recipe. Lately I have been using steel cut oats because they are healthier to have than regular rolled oats. But you can use quick oats and cook them according to the instructions on the package.

Spices – Cinnamon and cardamom are two of my favourite spices. They add warmth to the dish and come with a lot of health benefits. Not to forget they will add lots of flavour to your oatmeal!

Sweetener – Pure maple syrup or honey, brown sugar, coconut sugar or white sugar are a few options that you can choose from. I personally use honey majority of the time as it has miraculous healing properties.

Liquid – For the milk in this oatmeal recipe I have used almond milk. Feel free to use any flavour plant based milk that you like. I prefer using plant based milk as they are low in calories, fat and loaded with vitamins and minerals (more than dairy milk!), such as calcium, B-12, vitamin E and vitamin D.

Seeds and Nuts – The addition of nuts and seeds is completely optional. But many nuts and seeds contain a lot of protein, essential omegas that are healthy for your heart so adding a handful won’t do any harm. Instead it will add crunch to your oatmeal. I have used almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds and sunflower seeds.

Oatmeal is definitely my favourite go-to meal! It’s hearty, healthy and delicious!

Strawberry Rolls are filled with strawberry reduction and fresh strawberries. Roll them up, cut them and let them rise until doubled in size. Bake them and drizzle the rolls with cream cheese icing while still warm for the most delicious Strawberry Rolls!

Why Strawberry Rolls?

I have been wanting to make these Strawberry Rolls for a very long time now. But as fresh strawberries were not available I thought of making them later when I can get hold of fresh berries. But one day a friend of mine messaged me asking, if I would like to try a few dishes using frozen berries? Trust me the berries she sent were truly out of this world! They were not only as good as fresh berries but even better! Sweet, juicy and not only tasted delicious they even had the smell of fresh juicy berries to them! If you are missing fresh berries just like me, don’t worry! Simply contact them uvberries and fulfil your craving of fresh hand picked berries!

So today was the perfect day to make these rolls. I love cinnamon rolls, but wanted to give them a summery twist. So I decided to make Strawberry Rolls.

Ingredients in Strawberry Rolls with Cream Cheese Icing

The detailed instructions and measured ingredients are in the recipe card below at the bottom of the page.

strawberry-rolls-recipe-spoonful-stories

For the dough you will need

Dry Ingredients – flour, salt and sugar
Wet Ingredients – milk, butter and egg
Yeast – I have used instant yeast, but you can also use dry active yeast. But keep in mind that it needs to be activated.

For the filling you will need

Berries – freshly cut strawberries
Jam – I have used freshly made strawberry jam, to make sure the flavour is carried through.

For the cream cheese icing you will need

Cream Cheese – Make sure the cheese is at room temperature. My favourite brand to use is Philadelphia Cream Cheese but you can also use low fat cream cheese.
Sugar – Best to use powdered sugar as it will assure you a smooth texture instead of a grainy texture.
Butter – We have to use unsalted butter to control the salt content in the recipe.

Tip for making the best rolls

Make sure the milk is not too hot, else it could kill the yeast.
Always check the expiration date of the yeast.
If you do not have a warm place for the dough to rise, Heat your oven to 180 C degrees for 5 minutes then turn it off and place the rolls inside.
Don’t put too much jam inside as it will leak out from the sides.

Ingredients

Dough
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 cups flour
1/4 tsp salt
Filling
1 cup fresh strawberries
3/4 cup strawberry jam
Cream Cheese Icing
1/2 cup cream cheese
1 tsp vanilla essence
2 tbsp butter
1 cup powdered sugar
Strawberry jam
2 cups strawberry

To activate the yeast, warm the milk in the mircowave for 30 seconds. Add yeast to it, stir it and let it rest for 5 minutes.
In a large bowl mix the flour, egg, sugar, butter and the yeast and milk mixture and knead it into a dough. The dough should be soft and elastic. Place the dough in a large slightly oiled bowl, cover it with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place until double in size. About 1-2 hours.
In the mean time make the strawberry jam. For the jam, heat a nonstick pan and add all the jam ingredients in to it. Bring to a boil and let it simmer for about 30 minutes or until of the desired consistency. You can also use ready made jam.
Butter a 10 inch baking dish and preheat the oven at 180 C degrees.
Roll the dough into a rectangle about 18×12 inches and spread the jam all across it. Make sure you dont use too much otherwise it will leak from the sides. Evenly arrange the freshly cut strawberries over this.
Start rolling the dough gently and when you reach the end make sure you pinch the sides together.
Cut the roll into 6 equal rolls and place the rolls in the baking dish and bake until golden brown and cooked.
In the meantime you can make the cream cheese icing. In a large blender add all the ingredients for the icing and blend it together. If the icing is too thick add a little milk until the desired consistency is achieved. You shouldnt need more than 1-2tbsp milk.
Once the rolls are ready, let them cool for 10 minutes then drizzle with cream cheese icing and serve!
