A little orange juice and pure maple syrup turn ordinary oatmeal into something special. If your mornings are rushed, combine the cereal ingredients the night before and refrigerate. In the morning, put the cereal on to cook while you dress. Double the recipe so you end up with enough oatmeal for Wednesday's breakfast and refrigerate the extra servings in a covered loaf pan so it can be sliced the next morning.

In medium saucepan, combine all ingredients except maple syrup and nuts.

Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer until oats are tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in maple syrup and serve with a sprinkling of nuts. Makes 4 servings.
