Instructions

  1. Microwave method: put the 1/2 cup oats, 1 cup water and a pinch of salt in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 90 seconds, then add 15-second bursts if needed until puffed and softened. Only the first time do you need to test the time. Stir in 2-3 tablespoons milk before serving.
  2. Stovetop method: bring the 1 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan. Lower the heat to low and pour in the 1/2 cup oats. Cook, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes, until soft and most of the liquid is absorbed.
  3. Add the 2-3 tablespoons milk, take the pan off the heat, cover and let stand 2-3 minutes.
  4. Stir in your toppings and let rest a few minutes to cool. Thin with a little more milk if you like, and serve warm.
