    This easy and warming oatmeal, richly flavored with almond butter, apricots, and ginger, is not only gluten-free, but oil-free as well. The origins of this recipe come from my month-long peanut butter and jelly blog posts in honor of Vegan Month of Food — a yearly blogging event where vegans from all over the world commit to sharing at least 20 vegan-centric recipes, articles, information, and commentary during the month of September. Recipe and photo by Ann Oliverio, from Crave, Eat, Heal: Plant-Based Whole Food Recipes to Satisfy Every Appetite* reprinted with permission © 2015 Front Table Books.

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup uncooked gluten-free steel-cut oats
    • 2 cups water
    • ½ cup dried apricots chopped into small pieces
    • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated or minced
    • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
    • ¼ teaspoon dried ginger
    • Pinch salt
    • ⅓ cup smooth or chunky natural almond butter
    • Zest of ½ orange
    • ½ cup nondairy milk
    • ¼ cup fresh orange juice
    • Slivered almonds for garnish optional
    US Customary - Metric

    Instructions

    • Combine the steel-cut oats and 2 cups water in a medium-sized saucepan and let sit for several hours or overnight.
    • Place 4 ramekins on a small baking pan and preheat oven to 350º F.  You can also use an 8- by 8-inch baking dish.
    • Bring the oats/water to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until oats are tender, about 10 minutes.
    • Add more water if the mixture becomes too dry.  Stir in the ginger, apricots, cinnamon, almond butter, salt, and orange zest.
    • When the almond butter is fully incorporated, remove the oats from the heat and stir in the milk and orange juice.
    • Divide the oat mixture between the 4 ramekins or scrape into the baking dish and bake for 10 minutes. Sprinkle oatmeal with slivered almonds, if using.

      oh my goodness Nava, this sounds so fantastic. I have two orange trees, and honestly I just can't keep up with the orange output (nice problem to have, I know!). So, I'm always on the lookout for recipes like this that will help me use up an orange or two. <3

      Having your own orange tree is amazing! Credit where due -- this recipe is contributed by Annie Oliverio. Enjoy!

      Sounds like an amazing recipe, though I haven't yet tried it out. I do have a doubt, as if why we should use ginger along with an oatmeal! I have always had this allergic skin rashes whenever I add ginger in my diet! So just wondering, If it is okay to skip ginger while making this recipe!

      Of course! If you don't enjoy the taste of ginger and especially since you're allergic to it, by all means, skip it. It has plenty of other flavorful ingredients.

      Cinnamon somewhat balances the taste of ginger. Maybe proportion of amounts can be changed according to the preference.
