Grapefruit infused oatmeal is a refreshing and nutritious way to start your day. Combining the tartness of grapefruit with the warm comfort of oatmeal creates a unique breakfast dish. This recipe is vegan and gluten-free, perfect for those with dietary restrictions or anyone seeking a wholesome, plant-based meal. Here's how to make grapefruit infused oatmeal with simple ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats
- 2 cups plant-based milk (such as almond, soy, or oat milk)
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed grapefruit juice
- 1/4 cup grapefruit segments, chopped
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional toppings: grapefruit zest, chia seeds, toasted coconut, nuts, or berries
Instructions
Cook the Oats: In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, plant-based milk, and a pinch of salt. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until it begins to simmer.
Add the Grapefruit Juice: Once the oats start to thicken (about 3-5 minutes), add the freshly squeezed grapefruit juice. Stir to combine and continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the oats reach your desired consistency.
Add the Sweetener and Vanilla: Stir in the maple syrup (or agave) and vanilla extract. Adjust the sweetness to your taste by adding more sweetener if needed.
Fold in the Grapefruit Segments: Once the oatmeal is cooked to your liking, fold in the chopped grapefruit segments. This adds bursts of tart flavor and texture to the oatmeal.
Serve and Add Toppings: Serve the oatmeal in bowls and top with your choice of optional toppings. Grapefruit zest adds extra citrus flavor, while chia seeds, toasted coconut, or nuts provide a nice crunch. Berries also complement the grapefruit's tartness.
Tips for Success
- Control the Tartness: If the grapefruit flavor is too tart, add extra sweetener or a splash of additional plant-based milk to balance the flavors.
- Texture Variations: For a creamier oatmeal, use quick oats instead of rolled oats, and cook for a shorter time. For a thicker texture, cook longer or use steel-cut oats.
- Meal Prep: This oatmeal can be made ahead of time and reheated for a quick breakfast. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Enjoy your grapefruit infused oatmeal! It's a bright and nutritious way to start the day, with a perfect balance of sweet and tart flavors.
