How to Make Apricot Oat Bran Hot Breakfast Cereal

  1. Combine all ingredients in a large, microwave-safe bowl.
  2. Microwave on medium-high power for 3 minutes.
  3. Stir the mixture well.
  4. Continue microwaving in 1-minute intervals, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is boiling and the oats are cooked through (about 4 minutes total, depending on your microwave). Watch carefully to prevent boiling over.
  5. Remove from microwave and let stand for 5 minutes, covered, to allow the oats to fully absorb the liquid and thicken.
  6. If the mixture is too thick, stir in 1-2 tablespoons of water or milk until desired consistency is reached. Reheat briefly in the microwave if necessary.
  7. Taste and adjust sweetness with additional sweetener (if desired). Enjoy your delicious and healthy breakfast!
