Directions
- Juice one orange into a medium saucepan and set the juice aside.
- To the saucepan, add a pinch of salt and enough water; bring to a boil over high heat.
- Stir in the oats, dried cranberries, cinnamon, and maple syrup; reduce heat to medium-low and cover.
- Let the mixture simmer for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats reach your preferred thickness.
- Roughly chop the pistachios and keep ready for topping.
- Divide the oatmeal into bowls, top with the pistachios and milk, and serve with the second orange on the side if desired.
Two tips
- Prep the pistachios ahead by chopping them and storing in a small container for quick topping.
- Serve with orange wedges on the side for a fresh citrus contrast or leftovers can be stored in the fridge for a quick reheat.
