Couldn’t be simpler (if you have a microwave). Put the following into a microwave-safe bowl:
- 1/2 c. regular rolled oats (not “quick” or “instant” or “steel cut”)
- 1/2 to 1 c. apple juice or cider (or water plus a slug of maple syrup)
- 1/2 an apple, diced
- Cinnamon, to taste
Stir and microwave for 2 minutes. It’ll boil up; you’ll want to use a bowl rather larger than your ingredients. I like a 1:1 ration of oats and liquid; others I know like much more liquid to make the oatmeal more like porridge.
I dare you to go back to those packets of instant sugar oatmeal.
