Ingredients

1 serving

½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup water or milk
Chef's tip
Use plain, unsweetened soy milk, measured 1:1. It's the most reliable milk swap and works in sauces, custards, and baked goods; for hot or acidic drinks, a barista-style soy milk resists curdling.
1 pinch salt

For serving

1 tsp brown sugar
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.
