Step 1
Start by bringing the water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Once it’s bubbling, stir in the oats and let them cook uncovered over medium heat. If you’re using Quick Oats, it should only take about a minute, but Old Fashioned Oats will need around five minutes. Keep an eye on it and stir occasionally until most of the liquid has absorbed. Then, mix in the ricotta, orange zest, and honey until everything is well combined. Serve the oatmeal topped with fresh orange segments, walnuts, and a sprinkle of brown sugar for a little extra sweetness.

Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently with a splash of milk to restore creaminess. Avoid freezing, as the texture may change after thawing.
