Instructions
- Peel one orange and slice it into rounds, removing any seeds. Set the slices aside for topping.
- Zest the second orange and then juice it. Set the zest and juice aside.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, oat milk, the orange juice, orange zest, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender and the mixture has thickened, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and chopped pecans. Mix well to combine.
- Divide the cooked oatmeal into four bowls.
- Top each bowl with the reserved orange slices and extra chopped pecans for decoration.
- Optional: Add a drizzle of maple syrup, a sprinkle of additional cinnamon, or a dollop of vegan yoghurt for extra flavor. Enjoy your warm and comforting oatmeal with pecans and oranges!
Notes
- Zest the orange before juicing—it’s much easier and you’ll get better flavor.
- To boost flavor, toast the pecans briefly in a dry pan before adding them.
- Orange juice adds sweetness and acidity; adjust maple syrup depending on how sweet your oranges are.
- Add orange slices only when serving so they stay juicy and fresh.
