I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS MICROWAVED OATMEAL!

I Can't Believe This is Microwaved Oatmeal! image

My dad showed me this technique for making oatmeal in the microwave. I never microwaved oatmeal because it always boiled over and never tasted as good. And instant oatmeal is truly awful. This recipe is quick and simple, and gives a great-textured, chewy oatmeal. Plus, there are no dishes other than your bowl and spoon!

Time 4m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1/2 cup old fashioned oats (5-minute variety)
1/2 cup water
1 dash cinnamon
2 teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons milk (or cream)

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.

Time 7m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 cup water
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 dash salt
2 tablespoons brown sugar
cinnamon (I must use a teaspoon)
2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
1/4 cup dried cherries (see Notes below)

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.

Tips:

Use a large container: Oatmeal tends to expand while cooking, so it's best to use a large container to prevent it from overflowing.
Add your favorite toppings: Oatmeal is a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking. Some popular toppings include fruits, nuts, seeds, and honey.
Cook in increments: If you're cooking multiple servings of oatmeal, cook them in increments to prevent the oatmeal from becoming too thick.
Experiment with different flavors: Oatmeal can be made with a variety of different liquids, such as milk, water, or juice. You can also add spices, extracts, or other flavorings to create a unique and delicious dish.

Conclusion:

Microwaving oatmeal is a quick and easy way to enjoy a delicious and healthy breakfast. With a few simple ingredients and a few minutes of your time, you can have a hot and satisfying meal that will help you start your day off right.
