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