This easy maple and brown sugar microwave oatmeal recipe is ready in just 90 seconds and is naturally gluten free!
My boys eat oatmeal almost every morning for a few simple reasons: it’s ready in 90 seconds, nutritious, affordable and delicious. What more can one ask for in a healthy breakfast recipe? If you think you need a store-bought packet of instant oatmeal to have it ready in 90 seconds, think a،n.
Making your own ،memade instant oatmeal is quick and simple! I decided to use a cl،ic flavor combination for my Maple and Brown Sugar Microwave Oatmeal. Easy to customize, this oatmeal is naturally gluten-free, and can be made dairy-free as well.

Ingredients
- Oats: Full of fiber and iron, I usually use old fa،oned oats for microwave oatmeal.
- Flax seed meal: Doesn’t add anything in flavor or texture, but is a hefty source of omega-3 ،ty acids.
- Brown sugar: Adds a deeper, rich sweetness from the mol،es.
- Vanilla: A natural flavor enhancer.
- Maple syrup: I prefer to use true maple syrup, but you can use pancake syrup if that’s all you have.
- Milk: I usually use non-، milk, but you can use any non-dairy milk like almond milk or oat milk, too.
Shake Things Up
- Add some ،es. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and cocoa powder are all great ways to boost the flavor of this oatmeal.
- Add some texture. If you like a bit of a crunch in your oatmeal, you can top it with chia seeds, walnuts, or pecans.
- Add some fruit. Fresh, frozen, and dried fruit all go great with oatmeal! Raisins, bananas, blueberries, and strawberries are some of my personal favorites.
