Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Shake the oatmeal container well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
  2. Remove the lid and any inner seal. Pour boiling water (or hot milk for extra creaminess) over the oats until the liquid covers them by about ½ inch.
  3. Place the lid back on and let the oatmeal sit for 3 minutes.
  4. Stir thoroughly and enjoy. If you prefer a sweeter taste, drizzle with a little maple syrup.

Recipe Tips

For a creamier texture, use hot milk instead of water.

Let the oatmeal rest for the full 3 minutes to achieve the perfect consistency.

Customize with your favorite toppings like fresh berries or a dollop of yogurt.
