boil for 5 – 7 minutes, stirring frequently. Let cool a few minutes before
serving.

Microwave on full power for 3 – 4 minutes. After 3 minutes, keep an eye on the bowl, if it starts to boil over, open the microwave door to stop it. Once

To reheat, add a splash of water to the oatmeal and heat over low heat on
the stove, or on high power in the microwave for 1 – 2 minutes.
