I call this Real Microwave Oatmeal because when most people think of microwave oatmeal, they think about those prepackaged, overly processed and overly sweetened little packets. I’m happy to say you don’t have to resort to those little packets anymore!
I regularly make this recipe for breakfast at work. It’s super simple. And all you need is some rolled oats, water and your toppings of choice. My toppings of choice always includes fresh berries and nuts.
There are so many ways to dress up your oatmeal. On occasion I throw in some candied pecans or a few semi sweet chocolate chips. The possibilities are endless. I’d love to hear what toppings you like to have with your oatmeal in the comments below!
