Oats cooked in different liquids like fruit juices is some mystical oatmeal brewing ish and one of my favorite ways to enjoy my daily oatmeal. 

Oatmeal Ingredients

• Old-Fashioned Oats
• Orange Juice
• Almond Milk
• Strawberries
• Honey
• Orange Zest

How to cook oatmeal in fruit juice (step by step)

There is nothing tricky about cooking oatmeal in a non-water/non-dairy based liquid. It’s the same directions just a different liquid source. For next-level flavor I like to toast the oats a little in ghee or regular butter before cooking.

So this recipe calls for an even split of almond milk and orange juice. You get those resting elements of fresh OJ along with the aroma of the orange zest. For next-level flavor and taste experience, you can steep fresh basil leaves in the liquid before adding the oats.

Serving Suggestion

Serve the strawberry oatmeal with zest from an orange and sliced fresh strawberries.

Tips for making oatmeal

• Change the ratio for OJ: Almond milk as you see fit and depending on your taste profile
• Add a dollop of Greek yogurt to the finished oatmeal for additional creaminess 
• Use not from concentrate orange juice. Go no pulp as well to avoid texture weirdness.
