- Want to cook your oatmeal even faster? Combine all ingredients in a microwave safe bowl and microwave on HIGH for 2 to 3 minutes (will vary depending on your microwave). Stir & voila! They're ready to be eaten!
Notes
Prep ahead option: Sometimes I prep my oatmeal for several days at a time by placing all the dry ingredients into baggies beforehand - 1 serving in each baggie (storing in the fridge, if needed). Then in the morning I grab one bag, toss the contents into a bowl, add the wet ingredients and pop it in the microwave for a quick & healthy breakfast!
