Solo Ww Oatmeal (Microwave Method)

Ingredients

Plain Oatmeal (2 WW points)

• 1/4 cup quick-cooking oat
• 1/4 cup old fashioned oats
• 2 tablespoons Splenda granular
• 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 pinch salt
• 3/4 cup water

Optional Ingredients

Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal 3 WW Points

• 1 small apple, cored and diced into 1/4 inch pieces- leave peel on (optional)
• 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon, in addition to cinnamon in basic recipe (optional)

Power Oatmeal 4 WW points

• 2 tablespoons non-fat powdered milk (optional)
• 2 tablespoons raisins (optional)

Directions

1. 1

   In a microwave safe bowl, combine all ingredients and stir well. Be sure to use a bowl that leaves at least an inch of space above the level of the oatmeal mixture- it expands when cooking and will make a mess if your bowl isn't large enough.

2. 2

   Cook in your microwave uncovered on high for about 4 minutes 30 seconds (I have a pretty average microwave- so if yours is stronger, start with 3 mins and check if the oatmeal is thick and cooked through- add an extra minute if you have a wussy microwave). Remove and stir, add your milk or desired fruit topping, and enjoy!

3. 3

   Option 1: Add diced apple and extra cinnamon into the mixture before cooking and stir well- add an additional minute to cooking time.

4. 4

   Option 2: Add powdered milk and raisins before cooking. No additional cooking time required.
