This recipe contains only 3 simple ingredients (or a few more if you want), 3 minutes, and no measuring cups or spoons!

This simple recipe for creamy microwave oatmeal has become a staple for all my airbnb breakfasts while traveling. I can always count on the local Whole Foods to carry a bag of gluten free oatsnatural peanut butter, and a few ripe bananas. 

 

If you’ve never grocery-shopped on vacation, give it a try—it will save you so much money and stress when you’re constantly looking for a place to eat!

 

Most hotels and airbnbs have a microwave, a cup, and a spoon (if you’re lacking in the second two, hit up the storage container section of the store—you’ll find a set of utensils and something microwave safe too cook your food in.)
