1 cup water or milk
1 pinch salt

For serving

1 tsp brown sugar
Chef's tip
Use the same volume. Brown-sugar replacements vary in moisture, spread, and browning, so follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ cup fresh berries or sliced banana (optional)

Instructions

1
Combine the oats, water or milk, and salt in a large microwave-safe bowl — use at least a 2-cup bowl to allow room for the oats to bubble up.
2
Microwave on high for 2 minutes, then stir. Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the oats have absorbed most of the liquid and the porridge is thick and creamy, about 1 to 1½ minutes more.
