I prepare single serve Ziploc bags of these on Sundays and just grab them on my way out the door during the week.

This is for one serving. 

1/4 cup quick-cook oats

2 tablespoons wheat germ

1 tablespoon chopped walnuts (or so, I just dip the spoon in the bag and hope it’s overfull vs. underfull)

1/2 tablespoon brown sugar (again, or so.  Kind of to taste, I guess.)

That’s it!  To cook it, put it in a bowl and add about 3/4 cup of liquid**.  Cook for 2 minutes in the microwave.If you use a regular size cereal bowl you don’t even have to watch it for boil-overs.  

**I use Westsoy Plus Plain organic soymilk, but regular milk (2%, skim–whatever) works too.  I don’t measure it, depending on whether I want my oatmeal really thick or just normal.  I’ve never tried water, but that’s because I don’t like oatmeal cooked with it.  If you like it, great!  Use that!

***Sometimes I also put in 2 tablespoons of dried cranberries.  If I do, I reduce the brown sugar, or else it’s too sweet for me.
