WW Recipe of the Day: Instant Oatmeal Microwave Muffin Cup
A simple and satisfying way to turn a cup of WW Instant Oatmeal (affiliate link) into an Instant Oatmeal Muffin Cup. This single serving of microwaved baked oatmeal was tasty to me, a longtime lover of oven baked oatmeal muffin cups.
An easy, healthy, breakfast packing 13 grams of protein, it kept me satisfied for hours.

Sunday while at my WW Workshop, I decided to pick up a few WW food products to experiment with. New foods is one of the ways I keep life in the kitchen interesting.

How Many Points in WW Oatmeal?
The first thing I tried was the Pumpkin Spice Instant Oatmeal Cups. Since it is a limited edition it made sense to me to give it a try.
According to the WW App, each cup of WW Instant Oatmeal (affiliate link) (Apple Cinnamon, Cranberry Orange, Maple Brown Sugar, Pumpkin Spice) has 3 SmartPoints (green, blue purple.)
Yesterday I made it the traditional way, stirring in ⅓ cup of boiling water and then letting it sit for a few minutes to thicken up. I thought it was pretty good, but the portion seemed a bit skimpy.
I bulked it up with a chopped microwaved apple to which I added some sweetener and pinch of cinnamon. The combination kept me satisfied for hours which was a nice surprise.
Today I decided to experiment with turning the oatmeal into a "muffin" by adding an egg, unsweetened applesauce, sweetener, baking powder, and cinnamon, which I microwaved until set.
As a lover of baked oatmeal I was pleasantly surprised with the result. It made me much happier than yesterday's oatmeal. It's definitely a do-over and I look forward to experimenting with different oatmeal flavors and seasonings.

I thought it turned out well. I get tired of eating oatmeal the normal way. Didn’t have WW cup so I used a package of Kodiak protein oatmeal

Do we cook the oatmeal and then add ingredients and cook again?
Martha McKinnon
No, you stir together the dry oatmeal with other ingredients and microwave once.
