Oatmeal as a tiny ecosystem? Absolutely—just add a splash of water, a pinch of yeast, and maybe some diced apple for color. As the yeast works, the mixture will rise and foam like a miniature volcano. Then set a timer to your desired nap length; when the foam subsides, you know it’s nap time. I once made a “soggy mushroom” version that almost ate itself before I could finish my coffee, but the concept still works—just keep a close eye on the foam and you’ll have a breakfast that’s both a science experiment and a nap timer.

Sure, let’s put a countdown on the kettle—maybe a 10‑minute alarm that’s loud enough to wake the kitchen, so you can sip coffee before the foam goes full‑on toddler mode. I’ll add a small dash of cinnamon for extra aroma, and if the volcano starts to roar, just splash a bit of milk to tame the chaos. Then you’ll have your brew and a science‑y breakfast that’s almost a nap in a bowl.
