Another Super Easy Tasty recipe. Not only does this taste great but it fills the kitchen with the most heavenly smell. A lovely way to start the day. Thank you for making oatmeal so easy to cook.
Delighted you liked it 🙂
Love this Mug Oatmeal recipe!! (keep ’em coming) Your recipes are well done, quick, use great ingredients, and you and your site are presented VERY well! Best to you.
Hi Anna,
thank you so much for your kind words. we work hard at getting the Website right for you guys. i appreciate your kind comments,
Gemma 🙂
I was just wondering, could I use quick oats for this recipe or do they have to be rolled?
Hi there,
Yes you can, though not when it is powdered for this one!
Gemma 🙂
Could you use instant oats instead of rolled?
Hi Colleena,
If the oats are not ground too fine it should be ok,
Gemma 🙂
Hi Gemma,
Is it possible to use oat bran? I have oat bran in my cupboard and I was hoping to use it with your delicious microwave oatmeal recipes!
Hi Rebecca,
Oat bran is the husk of the oats, and as such is not a flour, but could be added to oats to boost them, also to flours to boost their nutritional quality. I know you know about adding this to soda breads, but you can also add it to other flours, not too much though!
Gemma 🙂
The only ingredient you can alter or control in terms of measurement is the amojnt of salt, sugar and chilli.
For anyone who wishes tto learn about these ltong Pinoy recipes,
one just needs to explore using the internet via onnline Philippine recipes.
So freeze in single layers and doo not overlap food if you can help it.
Hi Minna, I suppose this is good advice, balance is so important in a recipe, if oyu change an ingredient, you change the result, thank you for your contribution,
Gemma 🙂
SO do we just mix the water oats and cinnamion and garnish with apples?? (I LOVE UR VIDEOS)
yes but you can also put apples into with the apples, water and oats. Happy baking 🙂
I made this oatmeal this morning but it didn’t work as well as your others. It was too wet as there was so much water… I microwaved it for over two minutes and it was still really watery ? I don’t know what I did wrong as I followed the recipe exactly… All the other ones are amazing though ☺️
Ever since you posted this recipe I have been making it nonstop. It is so good, so healthy and so full of autumn flavor that I even had it for breakfast and dessert today.
Thank you so much for my new favourite sweet treat.
Lots of love from Spain!
Thanks so much for visiting my website, Silvia. Really glad you liked this recipe 🙂
Hi Gemma,
Have been watching your videos lately. Your 1 min microwave recipes are awesome. I just made these. Needless to say it was quick and yummy. I used organic thick rolled oats, it took close to 2 mins stirring in between. Eager to try your other recipes. More fall recipes pls….
Thank you so much. Really glad you liked this recipe. Stay tuned for more 🙂
This looks delicious
This mug cake is delicious! I absolutely love all of your mug cake recipes! ? Also, is it easier to use a shallower mug? Because sometimes mine don’t cook all the way down to the bottom but they’re almost over cooked on top…
Thank you so much, Nicki. Really glad you liked this recipe. I think a shallower mug will help it cook faster. Every microwave and mug is different. Let me know how it goes for you 🙂
Hey Gemma, wonderful recipes and so easy. Just a quick question. Can we use quick oats for this.
No,sorry you will need rolled oats for this recipe.
Wow realy awesome recipe I love it is there any chance you could make sorbet sometime it’s just that I love the ice cream recipes you make but I can’t realy digest dairy verry well so is it ok if you make sorbet?
Hi Sofia! Sorbet is a great idea. But have you seen my Dairy-Free No Machine Ice Cream (https://www.biggerbolderbaking.com/dairy-free-homemade-ice-cream/)? I hope you enjoy!
You are great I just started watching you I love your show!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it 🙂
I love this recipe it is easy and quick!?
Delighted to hear that. Thanks for visiting my website, Alexandra. 🙂
Gemma your recipes are fabulous! My husband could never down oatmeals without throwing up but now he not only eats your mug version he actually thinks it’s delish! 🙂 I also prepared another version by replacing apple and cinnamon with pears and ginger powder…it still tastes amazing! Thanks for the quick recipes…its a blessing especially for a new mom like me!
Delighted to hear that! Thank you so much for visiting my website 🙂
Can I use strawberries insted of blueberries
for sure. I often put strawberries in mine and they are sweeter so I add less honey. 🙂
Hi Gemma, i love your easy to make recipes especially ice creams, popsicles and milkshakes, i found your site very useful in my future venture into food business.I hope there will be more easy, quick, and no bake recipes to look forward to…
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. Stay tuned for more! 🙂
I have just discover you dear Gemma and I am so delighted by your recipes. I put this one together the night before and it turns out wonderfully. Thank you so very much. I am just making your Irish scones. I really like your suggestion about being able to freeze them after cutting them out. Wonderful and thank you.
Delighted to hear that! Thank you so much for watching 🙂
Hi Gemma! I’ m digging in into my mug right now! At first the oatmeal was runny and the apples watery, but then I gave it a quick stir, added an extra splash of cinammon and low fat sweetener, and also let it rest for about a minute to let the steam come out and hell yeahhh It was delicious! Breakfasts on the go are my thing! Waiting for the bread series and in the mean time having a blast with your recipes! Send my hugs to Waffles! Ha!
Thanks so much Mery. Delighted to hear you enjoyed this recipe 🙂
Hi!gemma im a 10 year old and im subscriber and i lobe you and your recipies ive tried almost every single one of them

Is there a certain order you put the ingredients in, or can the be put in at any order? Thanks!

I’m wondering about how bread,cake and cookies are different.I knew that all theses contain flour and how it changes in those forms?Which ingredient make them to be like that?I think you can help me and pls,i want to really want to know that.Thank you and I’ve been done all you said for award and I am your great fan.Keep trying and fighting..You can do better than you thinking.I am 15 and I am sure I will be like you someday..
Hi, Thank you so much for your lovely message.
So the difference between them all is 2 things, quantity and ingredients. Some have more then others, different amounts of liquid and different ingredients. Remember that baking recipes are just made up, they are engineered so that every ingredient works with the other to help have a success final product. Thank you for voting for me 🙂
Hello, do you have a blueberry oatmeal recipe like this you can share? Thanks!
I’ll add it to my list June. Usually for my blueberry oatmeal I do the same as this recipe but ad vanilla instead of cinnamon and put toasted hazelnuts on top. And if you have a drop of cream in your house that doesn’t hurt 🙂
Thank you for this recipe! I always made mine by sautéing the apple in butter and cinnamon but this way is so much faster and easier. That is very important to me as I just became paralyzed last year and it has been a huge adjustment for me in the kitchen. So thank you for all of your easy and delicious recipes!
Hi Elise,
thank you so much for your message. I am sorry to hear that but am glad you find my recipes useful. I already have around 20 existing mug cakes and I will definitely have more to come. If you need an easy recipe for something that is usually complex just ask me and hopefully I can help 🙂
I love these oatmeal in a mug. It’s very convenient in the morning. Maybe we’ll get more breakfast videos. Hint hint!
Thank you.
Stay tuned for more, Betsy! 🙂
Can you post your double chocolate mug cookie and caramelized banana dairy free ice cream on your site.
It’s a great recipe and whenever I make oatmeal, I use a bowl and cook it in the microwave too- but to make it more creamier, I use milk instead of water. It cooks and tastes just as well but you have to make sure it doesn’t froth over so microwave in intervals. 🙂
Great tips! Thanks for sharing 🙂
I use unsweetened vanilla almond milk instead of water. Makes it yummy!!! and, just use a mug or bowl that the oatmeal can “grow” in and there’s not worry of it making a mess. 😉
Hi Tonia, I love it when my followers make the recipes their own! it really encourages me, so very well done to you,
Gemma 🙂
Hi I love your recipes they are fabulas I was wondering if cream of wheat would work instead of oatmeal and if you could do a recipe with cream of oats. By the way I definitly nomiated you for the streamy award
I haven’t tried that, so you’ll have to let me know how it goes. Thanks so much for voting, I really appreciate it 🙂
I love that these recipes are single servings for us single people.
They’re perfect single-servings, that I like to have more than one of 😉
I would so love to try this amazing recipe! It looks so good. Thanks for sharing this with us!
Thanks Patty. I hope you get to try this 🙂
Hi ! I have a question, im from Argentina so i need to ask this, rolled oats is the kind of oats that need to be cook?
Yes 🙂
yum
yumm!! I love apple pies <3 I'm so full from dinner, but this just sounds so amazing I want to make some right now!
Mix it up now Ann and leave it in the fridge over night then you can pop it in the microwave the next morning 🙂
Yum yum YUM! I will have that for breakfast tomorrow 🙂 Thank you.
Good luck with it Rachel 🙂
me toO
Looks delicious! Would this work in the oven (180C 10 mins) like your other microwave breakfast recipies? Thanks a lot
Thanks so much, delighted you liked this recipe. It for sure would work in the oven. Make sure t put a lid on it so the steam cooked and puffs the oats.
Love oatmeal and apples… Thanks for sharing your recipes… love your channel
Thank you so much, Ana! I love those flavors, too. Have you seen my Caramel Apple Crisp (https://www.biggerbolderbaking.com/caramel-apple-crisp/)? I hope you enjoy!
MMMM!! All I have to say 🙂
For the French toast can you microwave it the night before and then beat it again in the morning
Hi Katlin,
you can do that just the best thing is just to mix it up the night before and then throw the mug into the microwave in the morning without having to do any more prep 🙂
how and why does it explode
