Diy Microwave Oatmeal

Directions

1. 1
   Put the oats, dried fruit, nuts, brown sugar, and cinnamon into a large jar, storage container, or Ziplock bag. Shake well until all of the ingredients are thoroughly mixed together.
2. 2
   To cook a bowl of oatmeal, first give your jar a hearty shake to mix any ingredients that have settled to the bottom of the container. Pour a rounded 1/3 cup of the oatmeal mixture into a deep cereal bowl. If the bowl is too shallow, the oatmeal may overflow in the microwave.
3. 3
   Pour 2/3 cup of water into the bowl and stir well. Microwave on high until the water is absorbed and the oats are tender, about 2 minutes. Remove from the microwave and stir. The oatmeal will thicken as it cools.
4. 4
   Add milk if desired.
5. 5
   Oats mixture makes about 7 individual servings of oatmeal.
