A New Way To Eat Oatmeal

I like eating Oatmeal for breakfast. I try different things, either for the purpose of increasing nutrition or experimenting with taste.  I often add peanut butter. Today I tried Nutella. Mm Yum! It's super quick and easy. Here's the recipe:

1/3 c oatmeal (uncooked)
2/3 c water
1 tbsp peanut butter or nutella
optional: add cinnamon to taste

In this recipe, no extra salt or sugar are needed as they are in abundance in the peanut butter or nutella.

Microwave: 1/2 min, stir in the now-melted peanut butter or nutella, another minute on high. Make sure you're using a large enough bowl or mug that allows for the oatmeal to boil and come up as the oatmeal cooks.

Let the cooked oatmeal sit for a few minutes. Then enjoy!

Note: the oatmeal / water ratio is 2:1 water to oatmeal so you can increase the amounts.
You could also add a little milk when it's cooked, if you prefer, or you could substitute some of the water with milk.
