This noatmeal is hot, gooey, cinnamon-y, and it might sound crazy, but this super simple recipe is also fatty and amazing.
I hadn’t missed oatmeal until it was gone. I hadn’t eaten oatmeal for years before keto, but once it was out of the picture I was running back to it like an ex-boyfriend I forgot I barely liked. I thought “A nice hot bowl of oatmeal would be delicious. Wait who am I? What year is this?” But some keto friends told me about this hack and, when I tried it, I was hooked. It really does achieve a similar texture to oatmeal or cream of wheat.
If you get the good organic whole milk ricotta cheese (or make it yourself), this noatmeal breakfast or dessert recipe is less than a single carb per (very filling) serving. Every keto person I’ve given this recipe to thinks I’m cray, but once they try it, they’re a total convert. The key is to get high-quality ricotta because some of the grocery store stuff is 7 net carbs when the local and organic stuff can be 1 net carb or less. It’s worth it to seek out the good stuff!
This recipe comes from my best-selling cookbook, The Wicked Good Ketogenic Diet Cookbook.

Hi! I tried the oatmeal recipe above this morning and it was soooooo good. Thank you so much!!! I made it a bit different. I used salted butter and coconut oil and added hemp seeds. It was ridiculously good!!! U0001f60aU0001f60a
Randeefagen Yum! Glad you loved it!
My goodness I tried this and it never made it to the microwave! Great for dessert…I’ll add some walnuts next time SO easy!
Before keto I would do a similar recipe to stuff my Zeppole! I’m sure it’s delicious. Cannot wait to try!
where do you find ricotta with only 2g net carbs for 1/2 a cup? The lowest I found is 2g net carbs per 1/4 cup. Thank you!
It’s a Vermont brand, MapleBrook Farms that I get at my local co-op. Ricotta can differ GREATLY between brands so I suggest if possible getting one that’s made locally if you have a WholeFoods or even maybe a Trader Joes nearby or a Farmer’s co-op and it’ll be much less carby (and more delicious).
What is the recipe for the ricotta noatmeal? I came across your site a couple days ago and really wanted to make it but now I’m having trouble finding the recipe. Love your site and all your recipes look great!
Sorry I’m having an issue with my recipe cards disappearing and then reappearing. Here is the full recipe:
Ingredients:
1/2 cup ricotta cheese (2 net carbs or less)
2 tbsp grassfed butter (salted or unsalted is fine — I do it both ways)
3 shakes of cinnamon from the jar
Your favorite sweetener (I used 1 tsp Torani’s sugar-free vanilla syrup)
Instructions:
Combine.
Microwave covered for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until hot.
Mix and enjoy!

Thank you so much! Can’t wait to try it.
The wicked good cookbook says 4 T of butter (which seems like too much). Has it now been changed to 2T, or does it work either way?
I found that most people won’t buy the local/organic type recommended from the cookbook which is thicker, so for this version I just defaulted to what most people seem to buy which is regular ricotta which is more watery and should use less better 🙂
Honestly, delicious. Way better than I expected! I tossed in some sliced almonds and chia and it was so good.
I’m amazed. It was fabulous. Added pumpkin seeds. Thank you!
Hi! Will try tomorrow morning..!
Do i really need the butter? Or maybe just use 1Tbs?
Omg!!! So yummy
Delicious and great change from eggs almost every morning. Added pecans. 1 tsp. of butter was enough for me. Love it with the cinnamon and a little Stevia without use of Tirani.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! This recipe is amazing! Everyojne that I have given it to has loved it as well. I know exactly what you meant by vanilla sweetener (other than Stevia and that was not an option for me) but I used vanilla extract and xylitol. OMG! and the slivered almonds really just topped it off in the way of texture. I have oatmeal (noatmeal) again. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING!
Oh this is delicious, it’s better than oatmeal in my opinion.
Hi Amanda, all I can say is “WOW” !!!!! That was Delicioso. I will be making this many many more times. I truly enjoyed it, thank you.
Oh my gosh!! Went in skeptical but that was the best keto breakfast hack I’ve ever had!!! Yum!!!
This is soooo good. I have a new favorite. I used a tsp of the Jordan’s Caramel Skinny Syrups for flavoring. I use so many of your recipes. Thank you !
