Thank you,

I usually make instant oatmeal, but also have made regular oatmeal in the microwave, follow the directions n the Quaker Oats container, and adding in raisins, brown sugar and cinnamon - yum! And doesn't take very long!

1/2 Cup of Oats
1 3/4 cup of water
5 shakes of cinnamon or so
1 tablespoon brown sugar
a handful of raisins
1 dash of salt

Put all in a microwave-safe bowl, store, microwave for 1-2 minutes, then stir again, and let cool for a minute so you don't burn your mouth then enjoy!
