Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1.5 cups Milk (or water for a lighter version)
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 0.5 tablespoon Butter (optional, for added creaminess)
- 1 handful Toppings (e.g., fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, cinnamon, etc.)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine rolled oats, milk, and a pinch of salt. Make sure the bowl is large enough to allow the oatmeal to expand as it cooks.
Stir the mixture gently to combine the ingredients evenly.
Place the bowl in the microwave and heat on high for 2 minutes.
Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave and stir the oatmeal to check the consistency.
Return the bowl to the microwave and heat for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on your desired thickness. Watch closely to prevent the oatmeal from overflowing.
Remove the bowl from the microwave and stir in honey, maple syrup, or butter if desired.
Let the oatmeal cool for 1-2 minutes. Add your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Serve warm and enjoy your creamy microwave oatmeal!
