Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup oat bran
- 2 cups water
- 0.5 cup orange juice
- 0.25 cup raisins
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 0.5 cup milk (dairy or plant-based, optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring the water, orange juice, and salt to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Stir in the oat bran gradually, whisking continuously to prevent any lumps from forming.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Add the raisins, orange zest, ground cinnamon, and honey or maple syrup to the cereal, mixing well to evenly distribute the flavors.
If desired, stir in the milk for a creamier texture, and continue to simmer for an additional minute.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the cereal cool slightly before serving.
Divide the cereal into two bowls, garnish with extra orange zest or a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired, and serve warm.
