Usually, I’m not a big oatmeal eater, however; when I saw this mix on Mommy’s Kitchen, I decided I needed to try it. Oh my goodness, it’s a lot better than the instant oatmeal you get at the grocery store. I think I like it because I can add what I want to it, so it’s unique to my liking.
Stars of the “recipe”:
- 2 and 1/4 cups of instant oatmeal
- 1/3 cup dried milk powder
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 to 2 tsp of cinnamon (I added more because I love the taste of cinnamon.)
- 1 cup of raisins or other dried fruit (I used blueberry-flavored craisins and added chopped pecans to my mix.)
Directions:
- Mix all of the ingredients together and store them in an airtight container.
- Label the container with the directions on how to prepare the oatmeal.
To Prepare OatMeal:
- Scoop 1/2 cup oatmeal into a bowl and mix with 1/2 cup water. You may need a bit more water if you like your oatmeal thinner.
- Microwave on high for a 1-minute stir, and enjoy.
