The Quaker Oats Old Fashioned Oatmeal is the way to go for those who want a quick and healthy breakfast. Quaker makes the instant ground down oatmeal that is loaded with sugar that isn't really that healthy for you. The whole oats are much healthier and don't really take much longer to cook in the microwave. Simply microwave them with milk/water for 3-4 minutes at 50% power and they won't explode on you. I've been making my oats this way for over ten years and it keeps me full. I do add some raisins and ground flax to the oats, before I cook them, and the oatmeal comes out perfectly. The raisins come out plump and the oats keep me full and energized until lunch.
