Step 2
Stir the mixture well to combine all ingredients evenly.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the oatmeal simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the oats have absorbed most of the liquid and reached your desired consistency.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the oatmeal sit for 1-2 minutes to thicken further if necessary.

Divide the cooked orange oatmeal into two bowls.
Step 7
Top each bowl with fresh orange segments and sprinkle with chopped nuts or seeds if desired for added texture and flavor.
