Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 0.75 cup Orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.75 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Cinnamon (optional)
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Orange segments (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts or seeds (for topping, optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rolled oats, freshly squeezed orange juice, water, orange zest, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, cinnamon (if using), and salt.
Stir the mixture well to combine all ingredients evenly.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the oatmeal simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the oats have absorbed most of the liquid and reached your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the oatmeal sit for 1-2 minutes to thicken further if necessary.
Divide the cooked orange oatmeal into two bowls.
Top each bowl with fresh orange segments and sprinkle with chopped nuts or seeds if desired for added texture and flavor.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your zesty, citrus-infused breakfast!
