Single Serving Microwave Old Fashioned Oats

I saw a box of flavored instant oatmeal marked down to 56¢ and decided to pick it up. It's been about 100 years since I've had that and, um, I think it's best left for the kids... But I will say I loved the convenience of popping it into the microwave, so... These Microwave Old Fashioned Oats are just as quick, and easily flavored exactly as you'd like. I'm a big fan of cinnamon and raisin myself:@) Or any fruit would be good, here I had a peach from my neighbor's tree. Oh, and a little brown sugar never hurts either! 

I personally find that 1/4 C oats is a nice size breakfast for me.
