Equipment

  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Spoon

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.
  • Add a drop of green food coloring if using. Stir to combine.
  • Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, or until cooked. Stir again and let cool slightly.

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.
