Bring the milk to a gentle simmer, not a hard boil, before adding the oats — a hard boil can scorch the milk on the bottom of the pan before the oats even go in.
Instructions:
- Heat the Milk: In a small saucepan, heat 240 ml (1 cup) dairy-free milk over medium heat until gently simmering.
- Cook the Oats: Add 45 g (½ cup) rolled oats and a pinch of salt. Cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring often, until thick and creamy.
- Add Orange Flavor: Reduce heat to low. Stir in 120 ml (½ cup) orange juice, 1–2 tbsp maple syrup, and ¼ tsp cinnamon. Heat for 30–60 seconds until warmed through.
- Serve: Transfer to a bowl. Top with peanut butter, a drizzle of maple syrup, and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Notes: Add the orange juice off the boil — adding it while too hot, especially with soy milk, can cause slight curdling. Freshly squeezed orange juice gives a noticeably brighter, more vibrant flavor than store-bought.
Storage: Best eaten immediately as oats thicken and absorb moisture over time. If making ahead, thin with a splash of milk before reheating.
Swaps: Add orange zest along with the juice for an even more intense citrus flavor. Use blood orange juice for a striking pink color and slightly tart flavor.
Tips: Top with peanut butter and sliced banana for a protein-rich, satisfying breakfast.
This recipe leans on a handful of key ingredients to get its flavor and texture right. The rolled oats adds hearty texture and a subtle nuttiness. The orange juice adds bright citrus sweetness and aroma. The ground cinnamon adds warmth and a comforting, spiced aroma. The –2 tbsp maple syrup brings natural sweetness with a hint of caramel depth.
