Ever look at an instant oatmeal packet and think that the fact that one packet = one serving is a bit of a joke? I sure have! But what if you don't want two servings of fiber-rich oats for breakfast, or what if you aren't interested in two packets worth of calories... or what if you are just bored with breakfast and want to make a change?
My solution is simple, but takes a little bit of work. This is something which I have done at work multiple times, so all you need is a sharp knife (which I keep in my desk drawer), a packet of oatmeal, a microwavable container, something to cut stuff on, and an apple.

Dice the apple and put it into your microwaveable container with your oats. Add your water. Eyeball it. Trust me, cooking oats isn't like baking bread. It's not going to fail if you aren't exacting with the measurements, and the apples will add extra moisture. Stir the whole thing up and cook it in the microwave for a few minutes. How many? Till it looks done! This is another thing you eyeball, and why I probably will never have a job writing recipes.
Today I added walnuts. You can pretty much add anything, just keep in mind that if you add something that has it's own moisture, that will reduce the amount of water you will need, and if you add something that sucks moisture (like raisins) you will need more water.
Ta da! Breakfast!
