Microwave Mock Oatmeal Recipes

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!

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in microwave-safe bowl and give a quick whisk. Microwave on high for 3 minutes, stir; microwave a further 2 minutes, stir; microwave a further 2 minutes, for a total of 7 minutes.
• Note: A slightly less-fattening variation of this recipe can be made using 1 cup milk and 1 cup water (instead of the 2 cups milk).

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.
