MICROWAVE APPLE CINNAMON OATMEAL

This hearty breakfast dish is packed with cholesterol-lowering soluble fiber. Leaving the apple skin on contributes even more fiber. Most of the fat is a healthy monounsaturated fat from the nuts.

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 apple, preferably McIntosh, cored and coarsely chopped
1 cup rolled oats
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch kosher salt
2 cups water
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1/4 cup toasted pecans

Steps:

  • Combine the apple, oats, cinnamon, and salt in a large microwave-safe bowl water, and stir in the water. Cover and seal with plastic wrap or a tight fitting lid and heat in the microwave on high until apples are soft and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 8 minutes. Stir in the maple syrup. Divide between 2 bowls and top with the nuts. Serve immediately.

PERFECT MICROWAVE OATMEAL FOR ONE



Perfect Microwave Oatmeal for One image

I used to fix myself hot oatmeal every day, even when I was working. I guess I'm lazier now, and not willing to clean that pot day after day. SO, after much trial and error, I figured out how to do it right in the ce4ereal bowl, in the microwave. Pre-loading single servings -- everything but the water -- into snack-size zip bags make this an even quicker way to have my oatmeal any day I want it.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup old-fashioned oatmeal
5 ounces water
1 tablespoon raisins (or other dried fruit)
1 tablespoon walnut pieces (or other nuts)

1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1 -2 teaspoon brown sugar (optional, I don't do this, but sometimes I'll add a little sugar after it's cooked, if I'm in the mo)

Steps:

  • Put everything into a microwave safe bowl. You need one deep enough to avoid boil-over messes.
  • Microwave on HIGH for 2 minutes.
  • Stir and eat with a little milk and a sliced half banana. Yum!

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS MICROWAVED OATMEAL!



I Can't Believe This is Microwaved Oatmeal! image

My dad showed me this technique for making oatmeal in the microwave. I never microwaved oatmeal because it always boiled over and never tasted as good. And instant oatmeal is truly awful. This recipe is quick and simple, and gives a great-textured, chewy oatmeal. Plus, there are no dishes other than your bowl and spoon!

Time 4m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup old fashioned oats (5-minute variety)
1/2 cup water
1 dash cinnamon
2 teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons milk (or cream)

Steps:

  • Pour desired amount of oatmeal into cereal bowl. (I suggested 1/2 cup, but any amount is fine. However, if you use much more than this, you will probably want to use a larger bowl so the oatmeal doesn't boil over before it is fully done).
  • Add enough water to just cover the oatmeal. (1/2 cup water if you are using 1/2 cup of oatmeal).
  • Microwave on high for about 2 minutes. (The actual time will vary depending on the microwave. I let it go until a volcano forms. I turn the microwave off just before the volcano erupts over the side of the bowl. I then let it sit in the microwave for about a minute, but it's not necessary.).
  • Sprinkle a dash of cinnamon on top.
  • Add sugar and milk/cream to the desired consistency and flavor.
