Ok - I know its the wrong time of year but is it better to cook it on oven top or microwave it? Also whats best to add to it rather than sugar?

We always microwave ours (using the whole rolled oats) in a Pyrex bowl for three and a half minutes. You can add a teaspoon of honey but if you're trying to cut down on sugar, a handful of dried fruit (apricots, sultanas) or finely chopped fresh fruit such as apples, plums. Frozen blackberries or raspberries also add a delightful flavour and you can eat it straight from the bowl in which in was cooked. Saves washing up. I also make blackberry syrup from the blackberries in our garden and often add a tablespoon ful of that to improve colour and flavour.
