Ingredients

1/2 cup of Quick Cooking Oats

The recipe is sweet enough for me--but you can add a packet of Splenda if you want it sweeter.

In a microwave safe container, add quick cooking oats, water, cinnamon, and blueberries. Cover with wax paper and microwave for 2 to 2.5 minutes on high. Before serving stir in yogurt. It makes a large, hearty breakfast that will stay with you for the whole morning.
