Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make oatmeal in the microwave?
Absolutely! Using the same measurements, you can add your oats, water, and salt to a microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave for 90 seconds to 2 minutes, or until you’ve reached your desired consistency. You can choose to microwave the blueberries along with the oatmeal or add them in after, totally up to you.
What can I use instead of blueberries?
If you don’t have blueberries, any other frozen berries will work. You can use strawberries, blackberries, or even raspberries. Because blueberries are naturally smaller than other berries, I would recommend chopping your substitute berries into smaller pieces before using them.
Is oatmeal healthy?
Yes! In addition to being chock-full of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, oatmeal is also loaded with fiber to keep you feeling satisfied.
How do I store this dish?
You can store this dish by transferring the oatmeal to airtight jars or containers and placing them in the fridge for 4-6 days.
