Oatmeal, Chocolate Chip Cookie Style
"Every year at Christmas my friend's mom used to make delicious oatmeal cookies with chocolate chips and orange rind. I invented this recipe to replicate the taste."
- Ready In:
- 10mins
- Ingredients:
- 7
- Yields:
-
1 bowl
- Serves:
- 1
ingredients
- 1⁄3 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned)
- water
- 1 small orange, rind of
- 1⁄8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1⁄8 cup walnuts
- 1 teaspoon orange marmalade
- 5 chocolate chips
directions
- Combine oats and water and cook as directed on the canister -- usually about a two-to-one ratio of water to oats, stirring frequently. Rolled oats only take about five minutes to cook and are so much better than instant -- the oatmeal is not mushy or slimy and has a delicious nutty taste.
- While the oatmeal is cooking, grate in the rind of one small orange, using the corse (large) grain.
- Sprinkle in a little nutmeg and stir in walnuts.
- When the oatmeal is almost done, add a spoonful of orange marmelade and stir.
- Put the oatmeal in a bowl, and top with five chocolate chips (or however many you want!). Don't stir, just let them get all melty on top of the oatmeal.
- Enjoy.

This really did taste like a chocolate chip cookie and was a nice change of pace from my regular oatmeal. I didn't add the marmalade as I didn't have any, but it was still good anyway. Thanks for posting this QueSarah! Made for Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup.

I live and work in Brooklyn, NY. I am getting married in a few months to The Boy, who's a wizard in the kitchen. As a result, I now have an incentive to expand beyond my midwestern roots which seem to dictate that everything I cook involves tunafish, noodles, scrambled eggs, cheese, or peanut butter.
Mmmm, peanut butter.
