Instant Oatmeal

Ingredients

  • 3 cups quick oats
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 8 sandwich-size plastic zipper top baggies

Directions

Process 1 cup of oats (in batches if necessary) in blender or food processor until powdered. In each plastic bag, combine 2 Tbsp. of the powdered oats, 1/4 cup unprocessed oats, and 1/8 tsp salt.

To serve: Empty contents of one bag into a bowl. Add 3/4 cup boiling water. Stir and let stand for 2 minutes. For thicker oatmeal, use less water - for thinner oatmeal, use more water.

Stir-ins (per bag):

  • 1 Tbsp. white or brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
  • 2 Tbsp. chopped dried fruit
  • 1 Tbsp. raisins
  • 1 Tbsp. chocolate chips
  • 1 Tbsp. dry milk (for creamy oatmeal)
  • 1 Tbsp. granola
