Zesty Ricotta Citrus Oatmeal: A Bright and Creamy Breakfast Option
  • Prep Time

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. 1. Utilize glass jars or containers with airtight seals to store leftover ricotta cheese for future use in your zesty oatmeal creation.
  2. 2. Keep your citrus fruits fresh longer by storing them in the fridge in a reusable produce bag or container.
