Instant Oatmeal Mix
Calories
Ingredients
- 6 cups quick-cooking oats
- ¼ cup sugar
- ¼ cup packed brown sugar
- 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup dried fruit or nuts if desired (I used 1/3 cup of each of the following - golden raisins, dried apple, and dried cranberries)*** see blog post for additional ideas
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine all of the above ingredients. Then store in airtight container in a cool dry place for up to 1 month. Makes 14 half cup servings.
To prepare oatmeal:
- Place 1/2 cup of mix in a deep microwave-safe bowl. (My cereal bowls worked just fine)
- Add 3/4 cup water to the mix and microwave, uncovered, on high for 45 seconds.
- Stir and cook 20-50 seconds more (40 seconds worked for me) or until bubbly. Let stand for 1-2 minutes.
- Serve with milk, some extra brown sugar, and fresh fruit if desired. Yield: 1 serving
