Creamy Oatmeal Porridge With Coconut Sugar

Did you know blood oranges were in season? I had no clue until I went to the grocery store and seen a big bag of them! I nearly fell over the grocery cart because I was jumping up and down with excitement. It’s been awhile since I have seen blood oranges! The last time I had some was when I was in L.A. I am so happy to see them in this small town!   Creamy Oatmeal Porridge With Coconut Sugar Creamy Oatmeal Porridge With Coconut Sugar

Josh doesn’t understand why I was so happy to get them. He swears they taste just like navel oranges, but I think they taste even better (maybe it’s just the color).  I think I may freeze some, and wait to summer to enjoy them with a bit of mango..  Creamy Oatmeal Porridge With Coconut Sugar

What are you favorite things to do with blood oranges? Lately I love eating them on top of oatmeal. Which is a perfect combination since the weather is still pretty chili in the morning.

Creamy Oatmeal With Coconut Sugar Recipe:
2 cups milk (I used almond)
1 cup rolled oats
½ cup coconut sugar
¼ tsp. salt (optional)
Recipe Directions: In a small bowl add roll oats and 1 cup of milk, let it sit for 5 minutes. In a medium sauce pan on medium heat; add remaining milk, coconut sugar, and salt. Let the sugar dissolve into the milk. After 5 minutes add oats to the sauce pan and turn the heat up, bringing the oats to a boil. Once the oats began to boil turn the heat down. Let the oats simmer for about 10 minutes or until the mixture thickens. Let cool and serve in medium bowls.

  1. I love blood oranges for their bright and pretty color too:) I usually just eat them on their own or in a salad but adding them on top of a creamy bowl of oatmeal sounds awesome and really tasty!

  2. Haha, I’m a BIG fan of blood oranges as well! I was so exited when the season for blood oranges began this year. My dad had bought a bag of what he thought was just oranges, but then I peeled one and I literally jumped up and down from excitement. I don’t think I’ve gotten one since I was ten 😉

    • Lol I thought I was the only one to get excite about them lol! I can’t wait to see your recipes :)
