Blood Orange Flavored Oatmeal Recipes
Making any oatmeal recipes is a simple process that takes a bit of monitoring, but is well worth the time spent. This simple recipe is enough to serve two, but can easily be doubled for a meal for the whole family.
Prep with your oatmeal ingredients, including peeling and cleaning the orange ahead of time. While you can do this while the oats are simmering, I find it helpful to do all of my prep work before I begin cooking. It makes for a neater workstation, as well as prevents the frustration of something burning on the stove because you were distracted preparing other ingredients.  As you'll find when cooking oatmeal recipes o the stovetop, it's important to make sure you watch so the don't burn or stick to the bottom of the pan.
Ingredients
- 1 cup steel cut oats
- 1 cup nut milk
- 1 cup water

- While the oatmeal cools for a minute, cut into the blood orange with a sharp knife, removing the peel and fleshy membrane.
- Slice, quarter or divide the orange and add it to the oatmeal or you may mix it right into the dish.
