I did a quick variation today in the microwave, using about half as much oats as I normally would for a single serving, but the same amount of water, and added some garlic powder onion powder, salt and pepper. I gave the oats, water, and spices a couple of minutes in the microwave on high (stiring after one minute), then added a fair bit of frozen, loose chooped, kale and cooked for several more minutes, stiring after each minute (I don't recall how long it took), adding some butter and a spoonfull of almond meal right before the final minute.

I was really happy with the result. Greens with a thickish sauce and a nice flavour. I guess the almond meal might not have been a traditional addition, but I wanted the extra protein.
