Diy Microwave Oatmeal

• 2 cups Rolled Oats (not Instant Oats)
• 1/2 cups Dried Fruit (raisins; Dried Cranberries, Blueberries Or Cherries; Or Diced Dried Apples, Apricots Or Peaches)
• 1/2 cups Sliced, Slivered, Or Chopped Nuts (walnuts, Pecans, Almonds, Or Hazelnuts)
• 1/4 cups Packed Brown Sugar
• 1/2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon

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. 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. 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. Add milk if desired.
5. Oats mixture makes about 7 individual servings of oatmeal.
