wikiHow Microwave Oats with Milk Recipe Ingredients: * 1/2 cup rolled oats * 1 cup milk (or any milk substitute of your choice) * Pinch of salt * Toppings of your choice (e.g. fresh fruit, nuts, honey, cinnamon) Instructions: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the oats, milk, and salt. Microwave on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds, then stir well. Microwave for another 1 minute and 30 seconds, then stir again. Continue microwaving the oatmeal in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each interval, until the oats are cooked to your liking. This should take about 3-5 minutes total, depending on the power of your microwave. Remove the bowl from the microwave and add your desired toppings. Serve immediately while still warm. Note: You can also add other ingredients to the oatmeal before microwaving, such as mashed banana, cocoa powder, or peanut butter, to create your own unique flavor combinations. Page
