Sweet maple oatmeal with a bright citrus marmalade-ish tang and the light crunch of pecans. Candied kumquats add the perfect touch of sunshine to warm, comforting oatmeal.
Here’s a brilliant use for those Brandied Candied Ginger Kumquats … put them in your oatmeal! The little slightly chewy bits of bright orange citrus flavor are so welcome on a cold wintry day. The maple syrup and pecans complement them just perfectly. It’s a quick, hot breakfast that will warm your body and your soul.
