Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Rolled oats
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar
- 1 cup Powdered milk (optional)
- 1 cup Dried fruit (e.g., raisins, cranberries, or chopped apricots)
- 0.5 cups Chopped nuts (e.g., almonds or pecans)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cups Chocolate chips or other mix-ins (optional)
- as needed Boiling water (for serving)
Instructions
Place 4 cups of rolled oats into a blender or food processor. Pulse a few times until they reach a coarse, powder-like texture. This will create a creamier base for the instant oatmeal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the processed oats with the remaining 2 cups of whole rolled oats.
Add the salt, brown sugar, powdered milk (if using), ground cinnamon, and any other desired add-ins like dried fruits, nuts, or chocolate chips. Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Divide the mixture into individual servings (approximately 1/2 cup per serving). Use resealable plastic bags, mason jars, or small containers for storage.
Label each container or bag with the contents and directions: 'To prepare, add 3/4 cup boiling water per serving. Stir well, let sit for 2 minutes, and enjoy!'
Store the prepared oatmeal packs in a cool, dry place for up to 2 months.
When ready to serve, simply combine the oatmeal mix with boiling water in a bowl or mug, stir, let it sit for a couple of minutes, and enjoy your homemade instant oatmeal!
