To prepare a single serving of oatmeal on the stove: Pour 2/3 cup water into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir the oatmeal mix again to ensure that it's evenly blended, then pour 1/3 cup of the oatmeal mixture into the boiling water. Stir to combine, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the oats have absorbed most of the water and are creamy in texture, 5 to ⏱️ 7 minutes.

To prepare a single serving of oatmeal in the microwave: Stir the oatmeal mix again to ensure that it's evenly blended. Combine 1/3 cup of the mix and 2/3 cup of the water in a microwave-safe bowl (use a slightly larger bowl than you think you'll need, so the oatmeal doesn't bubble over). Microwave for 1 1/2 to 2 1/⏱️ 2 minutes, pausing to stir if necessary to prevent overflow, until the oats have absorbed most of the water and are creamy in texture.

The oatmeal will thicken up a bit more as it cools. Let the oatmeal rest for a few minutes, until it reaches a palatable temperature. Stir again, add any garnishes that you might like, and serve.

Leftover dry mix will keep at room temperature for up to 3 months, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
