Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup milk (or non-dairy alternative)
- 1 cup fresh orange juice
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1 cup mixed wild berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons sliced almonds or crushed walnuts (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons additional wild berries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, water, milk, and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Once the mixture begins to boil, reduce the heat to low and add the fresh orange juice and orange zest. Stir well.
Cook the oatmeal for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired thickness and the oats are tender.
Stir in the mixed wild berries, honey (or maple syrup), chia seeds, and vanilla extract. Continue cooking for 2 more minutes, allowing the berries to soften slightly and infuse their flavor into the oatmeal.
Once the oatmeal is fully cooked, remove it from the heat and let it sit for 1-2 minutes to thicken further.
Spoon the oatmeal into serving bowls and garnish with optional toppings such as sliced almonds, crushed walnuts, or additional wild berries for a burst of freshness.
Serve warm and enjoy your Orange Wildberry Oatmeal!
