Ingredients
- 1 packet instant oatmeal (maple & brown sugar flavor)
- 2/3 cup water or milk use milk for creamier texture
- 2 tablespoons candy-coated chocolate eggs use sugar-free or natural if preferred
- green food coloring (optional) for a fun 'prehistoric' look
Instructions
- Pour the oatmeal packet into a microwave-safe bowl. Add water or milk and stir.

Notes
You can prep this the night before and just add the eggs in the morning. For a healthier version, use steel-cut oats and natural chocolate eggs.
