Oatmeal Breakfast Bowl - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3/4 cup quick oats
1 cup milk
1 large egg
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1/2 1/2 cup canned pumpkin (optional) or 1/2 cup chopped fruit (optional)
2 tablespoons sugar (brown sugar is nice instead, and splenda works too to keep it healthy)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 2 tablespoons chopped pecans (optional) or 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts (optional)

Preparation

In a microwave-safe bowl, lightly beat the egg and add the oats, milk, fruit, sugar, and cottage cheese.
Stir well then microwave on high for 2 minutes.
Stir well again and microwave for another minute.
Keep repeating stirring and microwaving at 1 minute intervals atleast 3 times, until oatmeal becomes thick or to desired consistency. (I like mine really thick, almost pudding-like).
Remove and add vanilla, nuts, cinnamon, and nutmeg. (A few dashes of fround ginger and/or cloves is good too if you want to change it up).
Stir and enjoy!
