I like using steel cut oats but it takes a long time to cook. Recently, I found quick steel cut oats at Aldi which cut the prep time. You could also use regular or quick rolled oats, just make sure you check the package for the correct amount of time to cook. I also had a bunch of frozen strawberries from last summer that I wanted to use up.
