Chef's Tips

For a creamier oatmeal, use more milk or add a spoonful of yogurt after cooking.

Experiment with different toppings such as nuts, seeds, nut butter, or spices like cinnamon.

If using frozen berries, you may need to microwave for a slightly longer time.

Use a larger bowl to prevent overflow during cooking
