Super Easy Two Minute Porridge

A few days ago, I was trying to figure out what to have for breakfast. To my annoyance, I couldn’t think of anything that I could make with what I had, so I jumped onto Instructables. Of course, there’s tonnes of things to choose, but, again, I didn’t have the things that were needed. So I made porridge (that’s what we call oatmeal over here in Australia). Of course, since I’m not really the cooking type, I’d never made porridge on my own, let alone in the microwave, so I experimented. This is pretty much the results of my experimentation.

Step 1 Ingredients

For this, you’ll need:
½ a cup of Porridge oats (rolled oats should work as well)
½ a cup of milk (any sort of milk will work, it’s all personal preference)
½ a cup of water
A pinch of salt
I used metric cups for mine, but it doesn’t really matter. Also, you can use the same measuring cup for everything, which should help minimize washing up.
You’ll also need a half-cup measure (or whatever size suits you, really), a microwave safe bowl (I used a Tupperware bowl), a spoon (preferably one you can eat with) and a microwave.

Looks good, I usually eat the flavoured instant oatmeal that comes in a package, but I will remember your recipe if I run out.

Thanks. I tend to stay away from instant anything (except two-minute noodles). They often have all kinds of nasty stuff with varying and almost unpronounceable names... but then, they also tend to taste better...
