This is a warm and satisfying way to start the day - a nice change from bacon and eggs when you are on a low-carb diet. It may sound odd, but give it at try - it's actually yummy. This can also be made using maple extract.

This was very good, but I changed it up a bit. I didn't like the creamy puddin-like consistancy, so I added an egg and nuked for another minute then added a dash of nutmeg. It was more like custard, and totally delish! Thanks for idea! Read More

Not awful by any means. But my family Decided to feed this mock oatmeal to the family dog. Perhaps it was the fake taste of the splenda. Maybe I should have used Agave nectar. Read More

Pretty darn good for something so simple. I am struggling through a lo carb diet and have yet to discover a lot of options for breakfast. This really fits the bill. Reminds me of a hot cereal. I left out the sweetener and added flax. Thanks! Read More

I really like this idea great for the mornings when you want something low carb but have no time for eggs... I agree adding the cinnamon gives it more of an oatmeal flavor. I sometimes also add a little bit of some cocoa to give it a little different flavor too. Read More

I made this this morning on a whim just had some ricotta to use up...I used a packet of Truvia and cinnamon and it was actually really good. Tasted nothing like oatmeal but more like a good hot cereal...similar in texture to cream of wheat....still I will make again! Very good! Read More

I tried this recipe because I had some leftover ricotta cheese and because I was plain curious. I have to say it does not taste like oatmeal even after lots and lots of cinnamon. I'm giving it four stars anyway because it doesn't taste bad and I think it is worth trying. It is slightly chewy and if you use nonfat ricotta cheese this can be pretty healthy. You get protein and quite a bit of calcium. Read More

Really tasty not sure if I'd compare it to oatmeal. Added cinnamon as suggested by another reviewer. I'm sure most sweeteners would work I prefer erythritol ad it worked great. Next time I'll add blueberries. Read More

It lacked a little kick to it so I added cinnamon and that made it pretty good. I'll probably make it again. Read More
