Ingredients

1 cup quick oats (1-minute)
2 cups milk
1/4 cup salted butter
2 Tbsp sugar (granulated or brown)
1/2 tsp salt
Optional: Raisins or nuts for topping

Instructions

Combine: Put the quick oats and milk in a large, tall microwave-safe bowl (like a glass batter bowl).
Warning: Oats will rise while cooking, so a tall bowl is essential to prevent overflow.
Initial Cook: Place the bowl in the microwave and cook on high for 3 minutes.
Stir & Adjust: Take the bowl out and stir well. The oatmeal should be very moist and almost runny. If it looks too dry, add a little water to achieve that consistency.
Final Cook: Microwave for another 2 minutes on high.
Season: Remove carefully, add the sugar and butter, and stir until combined.
Finish: Add the salt and serve warm.
