This recipe came about by accident one cold morning when I was looking for something hot for breakfast. My usual cereal or yogurt wasn’t going to cut it, and we had yet to take our weekly grocery trip, so I pulled out a few ingredients from the cupboard and started to experiment.
It’s quick, easy and tastes just like the popular dessert cake — talk about a breakfast trifecta!

Directions:
- Mix oats and water in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for two minutes in 30-second intervals (watching to make sure it doesn’t boil over).
