Ingredients
1 cup quick dry oats
1 tsp. grated orange peel
3 packets sugar substitute or 1⁄2 Tbsp. sugar
Pinch salt
1 tsp. orange extract
2⁄3 cup boiling water

Directions
Mix the oatmeal, orange peel, sugar and salt in a bowl. Add the orange extract, then immediately add the boiling water and stir until ingredients are well combined. The mixture should be almost like a soft, warm granola bar. Eat immediately. Makes one large serving.

Doctor's Orders: If you like softer oatmeal, just add a bit more water.

Chef's Note: Other options are to substitute lemon peel, finely chopped nuts or cinnamon for the orange peel, and vanilla extract for the orange extract.
