Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups quick-cooking oats
- 1 cup brown sugar (optional, adjust to taste)
- 1 cup powdered milk
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped nuts or seeds (e.g., almonds, walnuts, or sunflower seeds, optional)
- 1 cup dried fruit (e.g., raisins, cranberries, or chopped dried apples, optional)
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the quick-cooking oats, brown sugar, powdered milk, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of ingredients.
2. If you're using optional add-ins like chopped nuts, seeds, or dried fruit, stir them into the mixture. These add texture and flavor but are not necessary if you prefer a plain oatmeal mix.
3. Transfer the oatmeal mix to an airtight container or portion it into resealable plastic bags or jars for single servings (approximately 1/2 cup of mix per serving). Store in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.
4. When ready to prepare, scoop 1/2 cup of the mix into a bowl. Add 3/4 cup of water or milk, and stir to combine.
5. Microwave the oatmeal on high for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the desired consistency is reached. Stir again and let it sit for 1 minute to thicken.
6. Serve as is, or top with fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey, or a dollop of yogurt for added flavor and nutrition. Enjoy!
