Author Notes: This comforting bowl of oats features tahini, oranges, and dried apricots. It is quick and easy, yet tastes like it was made for a weekend morning. —Rebecca Fallihee | Eggplant + Olive
Serves: 1
Ingredients
-
0.5
cups old-fashioned oats
-
1
cup water
-
1
tablespoon tahini
-
3
dried unsulphured apricots
-
1
orange, thinly sliced and then diced
-
zest from 1/3 of orange
-
0.5
teaspoons orange blossom water, optional
-
stevia drops or choice of sweetener, to taste
Directions
- On the stovetop, put a small saucepan to boil with water.
- Once it comes to a rolling boil, turn down to medium and stir in the oats and apricots. Let cook until it is soft and nearly all the water has been absorbed, about four minutes.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the tahini, mashing it with your spoon until it is spread evenly throughout.
- Take off the heat, and zest about 1/3 of an orange peel over the mixture. Stir in the orange blossom water and diced orange, including the juice from the cutting board.
- Turn the whole mixture into a bowl and sweeten to taste. Enjoy!
