Instructions

1

Combine Oats and Liquid

Place the rolled oats and water or milk in a large microwave-safe bowl. The bowl should be large enough to prevent boiling over during cooking. Add a pinch of salt and stir to combine.

2

Microwave on High

Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Watch carefully during the last 30 seconds as the oatmeal may start to rise and bubble near the top of the bowl.

3

Stir and Continue Cooking

Remove from the microwave and stir well. Return to the microwave and cook for an additional 1 minute until the oatmeal reaches your desired consistency.
