Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk (any kind)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons sweetener (maple syrup, honey, or brown sugar)

Method
 

  1. Combine the oats, milk, and salt in a large microwave-safe bowl and stir.
  2. Microwave on high for 2 to 3 minutes, stopping to stir at the 1 minute 30 second mark, until the oats are tender and the liquid is mostly absorbed.
  3. Stir in the sweetener and any desired mix-ins, then spoon into a bowl and add toppings.

Notes

If using quick oats, reduce the cook time to 1 to 1.5 minutes. Let the oatmeal sit for a minute after cooking; it will thicken as it stands.
