Cooking spray or butter for greasing the pan

3 cups rolled oats

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon cinnamon

½ teaspoon salt

2 eggs

1 ½ cups milk (any kind)

½ cup almond butter (or other nut butter) 

½ cup honey

1 ½ cups peeled, chopped fresh citrus* (remove any seeds as you chop)

1-2 oranges for topping, peeled, seeds removed and sliced

Coarse sugar for sprinkling (optional)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 3 quart (or similar capacity) baking dish and set aside. 

In a medium bowl, add the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.** In a separate bowl, beat the eggs slightly. Then whisk in the milk, almond butter and honey. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until fully incorporated. 

Gently stir in the chopped citrus. Pour the batter into the prepared dish. Top with orange slices, and sprinkle everything with a bit of coarse sugar. 

Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until batter is set and the top is slightly browned. Serve warm with cream, yogurt or your other favorite oatmeal toppings. 

NOTES: 

*I stuck to using a variety of oranges (such as naval and blood oranges) for this recipe. You can also try mixing in a little grapefruit, but you may want to serve with additional honey or coarse sugar to balance out the tartness.

**You can also try to add a scoop of vanilla protein powder when you mix together the ingredients. Just reduce the honey amount accordingly if you’re using a sweeter tasting protein powder.
