Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine the old-fashioned rolled oats, water (or milk), and a pinch of salt (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl that is large enough to prevent overflow during cooking.

  2. 2

    Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, or until the oats have absorbed most of the liquid and are tender. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave's wattage and desired consistency. Watch carefully to prevent boiling over.

  3. 3

    Carefully remove the hot bowl from the microwave. Stir in the light brown sugar until well combined and dissolved.

  4. 4

    Stir in the chopped pecans.

  5. 5

    Let the oatmeal stand for 1 minute to thicken further before serving. Serve warm and enjoy your quick breakfast!
