Author Notes

It requires yogurt, not cream! Choose a fruity yogurt, something you could imagine adding to oatmeal, as opposed to plain or vanilla. —AustinMiller

What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup instant oatmeal
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 dash cinnamon
  • 5 ounces (1 serving) fruit yogurt
  • 1 dash brown sugar
Directions
  1. Combine oats with water in a microwave safe bowl.
  2. Follow the heating instructions found on the oatmeal container (usually around a minute and a half in the microwave).
  3. Let your oatmeal cool for about 20 seconds. Add the single serving container of yogurt (5 to 6 oz.).
  4. Add water as needed to create a smooth consistency.
  5. Add cinnamon and brown sugar to taste, stir.
  6. Serve medium-warm.

It works great with plain or vanilla yogurt! I liked it just fine but would not be adverse to adding some fresh berries or a spoonful of jam.

Great to hear! I think if you do plain or vanilla that adding some berries or fruit would definitely makeup for not having any fruit yogurt.

I will try this recipe but I don't use instant oatmeal, I will try it with original oatmeal. This article needs to be spellchecked. The word "ass", I'm pretty sure should be "ask".

I’ve reached out to the editor to let her know. Thanks for pointing that out! (Let me know how the rolled oats works out and definitely use Greek Light
and Fit if you can, it makes a world of difference.)
