PERFECT MICROWAVE OATMEAL FOR ONE



Perfect Microwave Oatmeal for One image

I used to fix myself hot oatmeal every day, even when I was working. I guess I'm lazier now, and not willing to clean that pot day after day. SO, after much trial and error, I figured out how to do it right in the ce4ereal bowl, in the microwave. Pre-loading single servings -- everything but the water -- into snack-size zip bags make this an even quicker way to have my oatmeal any day I want it.

Time 3m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup old-fashioned oatmeal
5 ounces water
1 tablespoon raisins (or other dried fruit)
1 tablespoon walnut pieces (or other nuts)
1 -2 dash salt
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1 -2 teaspoon brown sugar (optional, I don't do this, but sometimes I'll add a little sugar after it's cooked, if I'm in the mo)

Steps:

  • Put everything into a microwave safe bowl. You need one deep enough to avoid boil-over messes.
  • Microwave on HIGH for 2 minutes.
  • Stir and eat with a little milk and a sliced half banana. Yum!

MICROWAVE APPLE CINNAMON OATMEAL

This hearty breakfast dish is packed with cholesterol-lowering soluble fiber. Leaving the apple skin on contributes even more fiber. Most of the fat is a healthy monounsaturated fat from the nuts.

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 apple, preferably McIntosh, cored and coarsely chopped
1 cup rolled oats
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch kosher salt
2 cups water
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1/4 cup toasted pecans

Steps:

  • Combine the apple, oats, cinnamon, and salt in a large microwave-safe bowl water, and stir in the water. Cover and seal with plastic wrap or a tight fitting lid and heat in the microwave on high until apples are soft and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 8 minutes. Stir in the maple syrup. Divide between 2 bowls and top with the nuts. Serve immediately.

QUICK (MICROWAVE) AND NUTRITIOUS STEEL CUT OATMEAL



Quick (Microwave) and Nutritious Steel Cut Oatmeal image

This is from McCann's website. I love that you can use the microwave and not have to worry about scorching your pot on the stovetop. Of course, you can always use a double boiler, but that can take a while. I always enjoy steel cut oats because they are more nutritious than rolled oats and have a nice, nutty texture. Note: Cooking times may have to be adjusted for your microwave oven wattage. I have 1000 watts and had to cook 5 minutes covered and 11 minutes uncovered.

Number Of Ingredients 2

1/2 cup steel cut oats
2 cups water

Steps:

  • Mix oats with water in a 2-quart glass microwaveable dish. (The size of the bowl is important because it needs to be large enough to allow the oats to bubble without spilling over.).
  • COVER and place the dish in the microwave oven on high for 5 minutes.
  • Stir. Cook UNCOVERED for another 5 minutes.
