If there ever was a perfect drink for winter atole is it. Atoles are hot, comforting, thick and flavorful beverages made from masa harina.

I use the masa harina from the brand Maseca. It looks like this

Amarillo means yellow. So this is the yellow masa harina but there is also a regular white one. Use which ever you prefer.

Just make sure you don’t accidentally get the Maseca that is made specifically for tamales.

There are many variations of atoles. There’s atole de vainilla and champurrado. Champurrado is atole but with chocolate!

Champurrado was my first introduction to atoles and I’ll never forget it. I immediately fell in love with it.

One of my favorite atoles is atole de avena but it isn’t made with masa harina. Instead it’s made with oats.

If you love anything strawberry then you’re going to love today’s atole recipe!
