Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Old Fashioned Rolled Oats or Quick Oats
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 Tbsp packed light brown sugar or granulated sugar
- 1/8 tsp cinnamon, optional
- 1 dash salt
- 1/4 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 cup diced canned, drained peaches or fresh peaches
- 2 Tbsp cream or half-n-half
Directions
- In a roomy microwave-safe bowl, stir together the oats, milk, water, sugar, optional cinnamon, and salt. Working with fresh peaches? Stir them in now, before the bowl goes into the microwave, so they can cook down and soften.
- Set the microwave to HIGH power and cook for 3 1/2 – 4 minutes.
- Take the bowl out of the microwave and stir in the vanilla. Using canned peaches instead? Fold them in now, after the oatmeal has cooked.
- Drizzle the oatmeal with cream, then serve it warm.
