Instant oatmeal: my new obsession! It is a great neutral breakfast to have before a day full of hiking, scuba diving, or any active event. You can eat it plain or add any fruit you can imagine.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup old fashioned oats (quick/microwaveable/instant)
1 heaping tbs brown sugar
pinch of cinnamon
1/4 to 2/4 cup milk (or water) (I use 1/4 + 1/8 cups)
2 to 3 strawberries, sliced (or any fruit you want!)
Directions:
- Measure oats into a microwave safe bowl.
- Add milk (or water). (The more milk you add, the more liquid-y the oatmeal.)
- Mix in the brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Place in microwave for 1 minute. Stir. Then put it in for 1 more minute.
(You can add more milk and microwave again until you get the consistency you prefer.)
- Add the strawberries and eat up!
Strawberries are currently my favorite fruit to add, but I do like plums, pears, and bananas. You can add raisons, cranberries, dried fruits, nuts, chocolate chips, etc. I will start experimenting with different spice mixes too. Once I get a good formula, I'll add it to the blog!
