Ingredients

60 mL (¼ cup) quick oats
125 mL (½ cup) milk
Pinch of salt
1 tsp each of toppings, such as raisins, berries, applesauce, sunflower seeds, or milk
Cinnamon in a shaker

Directions

The mixture will puff up in the bowl as it cooks, so watch that is doesn’t boil over.
Measure oats, milk, and salt into a bowl. Stir to combine.
Microwave on high for 1 minute. Use oven mitts to remove bowl. Stir.
Microwave on high for another minute. Let cool slightly, so that it is not too hot.
