  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/2 1/2 cup canned pumpkin (optional) or 1/2 cup chopped fruit (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (brown sugar is nice instead, and splenda works too to keep it healthy)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 2 tablespoons chopped pecans (optional) or 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts (optional)

    Stir well then microwave on high for 2 minutes.
  3. 3
    Stir well again and microwave for another minute.
  4. 4
    Keep repeating stirring and microwaving at 1 minute intervals atleast 3 times, until oatmeal becomes thick or to desired consistency. (I like mine really thick, almost pudding-like).
  5. 5
    Remove and add vanilla, nuts, cinnamon, and nutmeg. (A few dashes of fround ginger and/or cloves is good too if you want to change it up).
  6. 6
    Stir and enjoy!
