EASY FAST OATMEAL

Top oatmeal with applesauce.

Time, Money, and Energy Saver:  Don’t buy the individual serving size; buy oatmeal in bulk and save money.  Make a large batch and reheat individual servings.  Using the microwave to zap the oatmeal cuts down on time and energy.  It also prevents the oatmeal from being scorched or burned on the stovetop.   

Preparation time: 3 minutes

Yield: individual serving

1/3-cup oatmeal

2/3-cup water

1/8-teaspoon salt (optional)

optional: sweetener of choice ( agave nectar, maple syrup, stevia), add cinnamon, raisin, dry fruit, or fresh fruit

In a serving bowl, mix the oatmeal, water, and salt together.  Zap for 2 minutes, stir and repeat for 1 minute.  The oatmeal becomes creamy with the repeat zapping and stirring.  Add more water if needed. 

This is one serving, but you can make any amount by using the ratio of 1:2, oatmeal to water, but always use a large glass or ceramic bowl.  Oatmeal rises as it is cooked.
