ULTIMATE MICROWAVE OATMEAL (Miami Herald, 8/29/08)
• 1/3 cup old-fashioned uncooked oatsPosted by Orrin Judd at August 29, 2008 9:10 PM• ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon light brown sugar, honey or maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons raisins
• 1 tablespoon toasted, chopped walnuts (optional)
Place the oats and 2/3 cup water in a microwave-safe cereal bowl that has a capacity of at least 2 cups. Microwave, uncovered, on high, until the oatmeal is thick and almost all of the water is absorbed, 1 ½ to 2 ½ minutes depending on the power of your microwave. Remove the bowl and stir in the cinnamon. Let the oatmeal stand until all the water is absorbed, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Sprinkle the brown sugar, raisins and walnuts evenly over the oatmeal.
