DIY Instant Oatmeal packets

 

Author: MOMables.com

Heartweed: I would omit the milk (it is not an ingredient in the organic instant oatmeal we buy prepackaged, and I would also use coconut sugar instead of  brown sugar or add 100% pure maple syrup to sweeten after cooked) 

Ingredients

• 10 cups quick oats
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1-1½ cups brown sugar (depending on how sweet you want it)
• 1 cup powdered milk
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 21-24 snack-size zip bags

Instructions

1. Put 6 cups of the oats into a large bowl.
2. Place the remaining 4 cups of oats into a blender. Blend until almost powdery, then pour into the large bowl.
3. Add the salt, brown sugar, powdered milk, and cinnamon into the large bowl.
4. Mix well until everything is combined.
5. Measure ½ cup of the oatmeal mixture into each snack-size plastic baggie and seal.

To use DIY Instant Oatmeal Packets:

1. Pour the packet into a bowl, and add the desired hot water. Stir and serve.

Notes

Because the plastic bag doesn't get wet or dirty, you can reuse it.

You can also add dried fruit, nuts, coconut.
