Want to make oatmeal quickly and easily? This way the oatmeal tastes just as good as the traditional way.
Ingredients
- 1 cup oatmeal
- 2 glasses of water
Steps
1 Place the oatmeal you want to cook in a microwave-safe bowl. A polypropylene container like Tupperware works well for this. 
2 Add water to a bowl and stir. You don't need to stir as the convection of the water in the microwave will do it for you. But this will improve the consistency of the oatmeal, especially if it thickens a lot. If you want oatmeal with sugar, raisins, or other dried fruits, add them right away. 
3 Microwave the oatmeal on high heat for 1 to 2 minutes, or until it begins to thicken. If the oatmeal is about to boil, it's ready. 
4 Gently remove the bowl from the microwave, add cinnamon, butter or fresh fruit if desired, and peanut butter, stir again and serve.
Tips
- The thickness of the oatmeal can be adjusted by adding more or less hot water.
Warnings
- The bowl can be very hot, so leave it in the microwave for 1 minute after it's done.
