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. 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:
1. 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.
2. While the oatmeal is cooking, grate in the rind of one small orange, using the corse (large) grain.
3. Sprinkle in a little nutmeg and stir in walnuts.
4. When the oatmeal is almost done, add a spoonful of orange marmelade and stir.
5. 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.
6. Enjoy.
