Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Stir the mixture well to combine all ingredients evenly.

Step 3

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.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the oatmeal sit for 1-2 minutes to thicken further if necessary.

Step 6

Divide the cooked orange oatmeal into two bowls.

Step 7

Top each bowl with fresh orange segments and sprinkle with chopped nuts or seeds if desired for added texture and flavor.

Step 8

Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your zesty, citrus-infused breakfast!
