Ingredients
- 1/3 cup old-fashioned whole oats
- 1 tablespoon dried blueberries
- 2 teaspoons packed brown sugar
- Pinch salt
- Dash ground ginger
- 2/3 cup water
Preparation
Put the oats, dried blueberries, brown sugar, salt and ginger in a deep, microwave-safe cereal bowl. Add water and stir.
Microwave on high for 2 to 3 minutes, until the oats absorb the liquid and appear soft. Remove from the microwave using an oven mitt. Stir and cool for 1 minute.
Enjoy as is or with a splash of cold milk.
