Instant Oatmeal Packs

***Recipe edited to correct the amount of oats from 8 cups to 3 cups. Sorry everyone! Thanks Lindsay for pointing that out :)***
Much more economical then buying the boxed packs in the store, and you can make them bigger and with whatever flavour you want!! And as a bonus they taste better! You can make them healthy, unhealthy, organic, non organic...the choice is yours :)

Ingredients
3 Cups Quick Oats
Flavourings: Brown Sugar, Cinnamon, Dried Apples, Milk Powder, Wheat Germ, Raisins etc.

Need: Ziptop bags

Process 1 Cup of oats in a food processor (you can use a blender, just process less at a time), on high until powdery.

Place the following into each baggie:

PLAIN Oatmeal
1/4 Cup Oats
2 Tbsp. Powdered Oats

Seal and store. To serve empty packet into bowl, add 3/4 cup of boiling water. Stir and let stand for 2 minutes. Or add milk or water and pop into the microwave until cooked, add additional milk/water to thin.

Variations:
Sweetened: Add 1 Tbsp. Sugar
Brown Sugar/Cinnamon: Add 1 Tbsp. Brown Sugar and 1/4 Tsp. Cinnamon
Raisins & Brown Sugar: Add 1 Tbsp. Brown Sugar and 1 Tbsp. Raisins
Apple-Cinnamon: Add 1 Tbsp. Sugar, 1/4 Tsp. Cinnamon and 2 Tbsp. Chopped Dried Apples

Use your imagination! Whatever combination you can think of, you can have :)




Note: I double the recipe above for each baggie because my husband and son are never happy with one pack!
