Check after 1 minute and stir as the oatmeal will puff and could overflow the bowl. Then finish microwaving the mixture.
  • For thinner oatmeal add more water to the mixture.
  • Add 1 to 2 tbsp. of ice cream or fat-free yogurt for delicious tasting apple pie ala mode oatmeal.
  • To adapt this recipe for weight control, use the light cinnamon flavored instant oatmeal packets and artificial sweetener.
