3/4 cups of dry, rolled oats takes 2m30s in the microwave to cook, plus another minute to add brown sugar, butter, raisins.

I'd skip the butter and reduce it to 1/2 cup oats or less if you have this everyday and are trying to lose weight. This is my "big ride" breakfast I use for fuel for a 3+ hour ride or road race. I don't typically have more than a cup of instant coffee w/ hot chocolate for breakfast (the only way to drink instant coffee is to add something, and the hot chocolate mix gives me 50cal or so).
