I Cant Believe This Is Microwaved Oatmeal Recipes

MICROWAVE APPLE CRISP

Steps:

• Spread the apples evenly in an 8 inch square glass baking dish. A deep dish glass pie plate will also work. In a medium bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, oats, flour, cinnamon and allspice. Sprinkle this topping evenly over the apples.
• Cook on full power in the microwave for 10 to 12 minutes, until apples can easily be pierced with a knife. Enjoy!

MICROWAVE PROTEIN OATMEAL

Steps:

• Place rolled oats, water, and egg whites in a small microwave-safe bowl.
• Stir the ingredients together and place the bowl in the microwave.
• Microwave on high for 3 minutes, stopping the time and stirring every 30 seconds.
• If necessary, add additional 30 second increments until egg whites are cooked.
• Remove bowl from microwave and let cool.
• Top the oatmeal with fruit and nut butter.
• Sprinkle with granola (optional) and enjoy!
• Place rolled oats, water, and salt (optional) in a small pot over medium-low heat.
• Bring to a simmer and stir occasionally until most of the liquid has been absorbed by the oats.
• Raise heat to medium, add egg whites, and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes, until egg whites have cooked and oatmeal is thick and creamy.
• Remove from heat and pour into a bowl.
• Top the oats with fruit and nut butter.

TASTY OATMEAL THE MICROWAVE WAY!

Steps:

• Combine ingredients in microwave safe dish/pot. Nuke 2 mins 20 sec. Stir. If still "water-y," nuke 10-15 seconds.
• ***Note #1: I often use whatever fresh fruit I have on hand -- chopped apples, cut up bananas, fresh peaches, etc.
• ***Note #2: I also like to use dried fruit such as raisins, cherries, blueberries, etc. When using dried fruit, I like to nuke the fruit in enough water to cover for appx 2 mins, depending on the size of the fruit and it's estimated moisture content.
• ***Note #3: After nuking dried fruit, do not drain if there is any water left. Add the other ingredients to the pot and go from there.
• ***Note #4: Other than the water and oats, I don't actually measure the other stuff, just adding a handful of this and some of that.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS MICROWAVED OATMEAL!

Steps:

• Pour desired amount of oatmeal into cereal bowl. (I suggested 1/2 cup, but any amount is fine. However, if you use much more than this, you will probably want to use a larger bowl so the oatmeal doesn't boil over before it is fully done).
• Add enough water to just cover the oatmeal. (1/2 cup water if you are using 1/2 cup of oatmeal).
• Microwave on high for about 2 minutes. (The actual time will vary depending on the microwave. I let it go until a volcano forms. I turn the microwave off just before the volcano erupts over the side of the bowl. I then let it sit in the microwave for about a minute, but it's not necessary.).
• Sprinkle a dash of cinnamon on top.
• Add sugar and milk/cream to the desired consistency and flavor.

MICROWAVED QUICK OATMEAL

Steps:

• 1. Add oatmeal to a microwave safe 3 cup bowl. The bowl must be big enough or the oatmeal will boil over and make a huge mess. Use any kind except instant. (I don't like the additives in instant and it is so finely ground that much of the fiber effect is lost.) Do not stir.
• 2. Add water either from the tap to cover and add about one inch above the oatmeal, bottled or filtered. Use what you have and what you can afford. Do not stir.
• 3. Add salt. I'm on a salt restricted diet but found that I wasn't getting enough Iodine in my diet so I have added this tiny bit. You can omit the salt if you wish. Do not stir.
• 4. Add fruit. I have diced A fresh apple with peel. I've added drained, canned fruit like peaches, pears or fruit cocktail (half a can and I dice it.) Make sure the water level in the bowl barely covers the fruit. Do not stir.
• 5. Add the Coconut Oil. You may use Butter, either salted or unsalted, Olive oil, Avocado oil or even Margarine if that is all you have. You can omit the fat if you wish. I find the fat helps keep it from boiling over. Do not stir.
• 6. Pace the bowl in the center of the microwave on the turn table. Microwave for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes on full power. No need to cover. The oatmeal will rise very close to the rim sometimes. Stop the power and let it sit a few seconds then continue to cook the full time. Microwave ovens vary and food should be monitored for boil over, sparking, smoking, burning. (better safe that sorry.) CAUTION! The bowl will be very hot. remove with pot holders, bowl covers can be added prior to microwaving to make for easy removal after cooking. I crocheted some with 100% cotton yarn.
• 7. Remove bowl carefully from microwave. Add Cinnamon and Bran. Sometimes I add a tsp of Chia Seed. I try to eat cinnamon every day. Stir everything in. You can omit the cinnamon, the chia and/or the bran.
• 8. Add the sliced or chopped nuts. Almonds or Sunflower Seeds are two of my favorites. In a pinch I have added a heaping teaspoon of nut butter instead. Stir it all in. You can omit the nuts too.
