Before oatmeal is dropped, I mean the subject, I'd like to mention about the very good, chewy Irish oatmeal (that comes in the silver and black and green can) that yes, it does have to cook for 45 minutes, but you can make a quite enormous amount of it at once, and when it's cool enough, put the leftover in ziploc bags and refrigerate and/or freeze.
And just stick a bowl of it in the microwave the next day. It will be real stiff reheated, unless you go to the trouble of heating it in a pot and stirring it around with more water, but nobody would do that. Stiff is fine.
I make that kind all the time. And put lots of berries on it, in the winter frozen ones. Raspberries, blueberries, strawberries. And some milk and sugar.
I put dried fruit in it sometimes, in the last three minutes of cooking.
I feel like eating some right now.
