I Cant Believe This Is Microwaved Oatmeal Recipes

PERFECT MICROWAVE OATMEAL FOR ONE

• Microwave on HIGH for 2 minutes.
• Stir and eat with a little milk and a sliced half banana. Yum!

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS MICROWAVED OATMEAL!

Steps:

• Pour desired amount of oatmeal into cereal bowl. (I suggested 1/2 cup, but any amount is fine. However, if you use much more than this, you will probably want to use a larger bowl so the oatmeal doesn't boil over before it is fully done).
• Add enough water to just cover the oatmeal. (1/2 cup water if you are using 1/2 cup of oatmeal).
• Microwave on high for about 2 minutes. (The actual time will vary depending on the microwave. I let it go until a volcano forms. I turn the microwave off just before the volcano erupts over the side of the bowl. I then let it sit in the microwave for about a minute, but it's not necessary.).
• Sprinkle a dash of cinnamon on top.
• Add sugar and milk/cream to the desired consistency and flavor.

TASTY OATMEAL THE MICROWAVE WAY!

Steps:

• Combine ingredients in microwave safe dish/pot. Nuke 2 mins 20 sec. Stir. If still "water-y," nuke 10-15 seconds.
• ***Note #1: I often use whatever fresh fruit I have on hand -- chopped apples, cut up bananas, fresh peaches, etc.
• ***Note #2: I also like to use dried fruit such as raisins, cherries, blueberries, etc. When using dried fruit, I like to nuke the fruit in enough water to cover for appx 2 mins, depending on the size of the fruit and it's estimated moisture content.
• ***Note #3: After nuking dried fruit, do not drain if there is any water left. Add the other ingredients to the pot and go from there.
• ***Note #4: Other than the water and oats, I don't actually measure the other stuff, just adding a handful of this and some of that.
