Here's the basics for oatmeal.
Use equivalents of 1 cup of oats added to 2 c water, boiling
Instant/Quick oats - simmer 1 minute, rest < 3 minutes
Rolled oats - simmer 5 minutes, rest < 3 minutes
Steel cut oats -(use 2 1/2 c water) simmer 20-25 minutes You can make it with milk for a creamy flavor or use Apple Juice.
For single serving, I usually put rolled oats in a bowl, add hot water on top of the oats, stir and let sit just a minute (while I go get a banana)
To make truly "instant" oatmeal, blend 2 T oats in processor to make a powder, then combine with 1/4 c of regular, 1 t sugar and 1/8 t salt.
Toppings: frozen berries, thawed if larger than Maine blueberries
a squirt of agave or honey
a generous sprinkling of cinnamon, nutmeg, etc.
A chopped up apple would be good, too.
Any fresh fruit...or dried fruit like cherries
Dad really likes it with golden raisins
B & E like it with maple syrup and brown sugar
Someone on the internet likes PB and banana... haven't tried that yet.
