What is Sumo Citrus?
It’s the ugly fruit that you seriously need to taste! No this is not durian fruit with its bad smell. In fact this the sweetest seedless mandarin orange you’ll ever have in your life.
Sumo Citrus are seedless mandarins that are so delicious they’re often given as gifts in Japan, the country where they were grown. Now available in the US and Canada, Sumo is in season January-April.

What type of oats do you use for oatmeal?
- Old-fashioned Oats: Are our main oat choice for oatmeal, their perfect chewy consistency is the base of most recipes. Sometimes called rolled oats, they have a flat oval shape which is achieved when the kernels are steamed and then rolled to flatten them.
- Steel Cut Oats: We’ve added steel cut oats for their excellent texture. Also called Irish or Scotch oats they have been cut and not rolled. And have the appearance of fine grain and a chewy texture.

How to Make Spiced Mandarin Pecan Oatmeal
Our Spiced Mandarin Pecan Oatmeal is a totally new way to start the day! A great bowl of oatmeal can be the perfect eye-opener with tender plump grains that hold their bite and shape.
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream, organic
- 1 Tablespoon raw honey
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups milk
- 1 Tablespoon butter, optional
- 1/2 teaspoon Pink Himalayan sea salt or Kosher sea salt, finely ground
- 8 dates, pitted + chopped
- 2 cups old fashioned oats, organic
- 1/2 cup pan roasted pecans
- 1 Sumo Citrus (mandarin orange), peeled + sliced
-
Lightly beat the cream in a large chilled bowl with a balloon whisk, or in an electric beater, until it begins to thicken. Add the honey and vanilla and continue to beat until the cream is stiff and stands in firm peaks on the beater.
-
In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan bring the water, milk, butter, and salt to a boil.
-
Stir in the oats and chopped dates.
-
Reduce heat to medium-low and cook oats uncovered for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat.
-
Transfer the oatmeal to bowls; top with Mandarin segments, whipped cream, pan roasted pecans, and a drizzle of honey. Serve immediately.
- Prep time is approximate.

This looks wonderful! I’d just leave off the whipped cream. Trying this soon.
Hi, Cindy thanks so much for stopping by to check out our oatmeal recipe. I hope you love it as much as we do! It will be great without the whipped cream as well 🙂
Everything about this sounds perfect! Honestly though, I’m super into that honey whipped cream. It sounds delicious and I imagine it would add the perfect sweet creaminess to a hearty bowl of oatmeal.
Thanks, Collen! The honey whipped cream can take any bowl of oatmeal over the top 🙂
