Simple Oatmeal

• servings: 1 serving
• active time: 2 minutes
• total time: 4 minutes

Ingredients

½ cup rolled oats

½ cup water

Pinch salt

2-3 tablespoons milk of choice

Directions

Microwave Instructions

Place the oats, water and salt in a microwave safe bowl. Heat in the microwave on high for 90 seconds. Then add 15-second increments, if needed, until the oatmeal is puffed and softened. This is only necessary the first time you make it. Then you can gauge the exact time needed and repeat in the future. Add milk and stir before serving

Stovetop Instructions

In a small saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and pour in the oats. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and have absorbed most of the liquid, about 5 minutes. Add the milk, remove from heat, cover and let stand for 2-3 minutes.

Assembly

Stir in the toppings and let rest for a few minutes to cool. Thin with a little more milk, if desired. Serve warm.
