Frugal Oatmeal |
|
|
I was buying the storebrand instant oatmeal, or Quaker when a coupon was available, but now our family is cutting back on sugar. I buy the largest container of store brand Quick Oats, add my own cinnamon or chopped up apple, walnuts, etc, whatever you like to add. I put all the ingredients in a microwave safe bowl add water and cook, put some low fat milk on it and enjoy. If you don't have time for breakfast at home, put the ingredients in a container and add water at work, then microwave. You just may have to do without the milk unless there is a small refrigerator at the office.

Mix in a microwavable bowl 1/2 cup quick oatmeal, 1/2 cup water, 1 teaspoon of brown sugar. Cook on high for 2 minutes. Pour any of the new flavored creamers on top. I usually use enough to cover the surface of the cooked oatmeal. Then add some milk if you like. This is delicious and quick. I really like the southern butter pecan creamer by International Delight. You can also use 1/4 cup oatmeal and 1/4 cup grape-nuts. I add 1 teaspoon chopped pecans and 1 teaspoon raisins.

I USE SNACK ZIP-LOC BAGS TO STORE MY OATMEAL MIXTURE; THEN I ADD THE COFFEE CREAMER IN THE SMALL INDIVIDUAL PACKAGES AS THE MILK. I HAVE AN AREA IN OUR CLASSROOM AT SCHOOL WHERE I HAVE A MICROWAVE FOR COFFEE/TEA, ETC.; IT ALWAYS HAS COFFEE CREAMER ON IT AND SUGAR. I CAN KEEP 5 BAGS OF OATMEAL MIXTURE IN A BASKET UNDER THE MICROWAVE CART. I USE A MEDIUM SIZE COFFEE CUP TO PREPARE THE OATMEAL IN; CLEAN-UP IS A BREEZE.

how much powdered milk do i use?
RE: Frugal Oatmeal
If you are taking it to work to microwave it there, just add a little powdered milk to your mix and when you add water to cook, you'll have milk.
RE: Frugal Oatmeal
YOU CAN ALSO USED STRAWBERRY JAM TO FLAVOR IT OR DRIED FRUIT. THERE WAS A POST THAT SOMEONE PUT ON HERE AWHILE BACK TELLING OF MANY OTHER FLAVORINGS TO ADD
I TAKE THIS TO WORK A LOT IN THE WINTER WE HAVE A MICROWAVE AND A FRIDGE SO EASY FOR ME TO DO. AND IF YOU'RE INGREDIENTS ARE ALL DRY ONES. I PUT MINE IN A BAGGY TO TRANSPORT BECAUSE I HAVE A LARGE COFFEE CUP I KEEP AT WORK
