Ingredients
- 1/2 cup of Quaker® Oats, whether Quick or Old Fashioned and still raw,
- A generous 1 cup of water for the base,
- A quarter cup of reduced-fat ricotta cheese for creaminess,
- Zest from half a fresh orange, grated finely,
- A dollop of sweet honey to taste,
- 3 juicy segments of ripe orange for a burst of citrus,
- 2 teaspoons of roughly chopped walnuts, lightly toasted if preferred,
- A sprinkle of light brown sugar for added sweetness.
Step 1
Start by heating water in a medium saucepan until it reaches a lively boil. Introduce the oats into the bubbling water, allowing them to cook on medium heat without a lid. Quick Oats only need a minute, while Old Fashioned Oats require a bit more patience at 5 minutes. Remember to give them a stir every now and then until they soak up most of the liquid.
Step 2
Next, infuse the oats with a touch of richness by mixing in creamy ricotta, fragrant orange zest, and a drizzle of sweet honey. For a finishing touch, crown your creation with juicy orange segments, crunchy walnuts, and a sprinkle of indulgent brown sugar.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Utilize glass jars or containers with airtight seals to store leftover ricotta cheese for future use in your zesty oatmeal creation.
- 2. Keep your citrus fruits fresh longer by storing them in the fridge in a reusable produce bag or container.
