Have you ever worked for Quacker? I think they need your talents.
Thanks, this is a great idea. My daughter loves the flavor packs, but they don't sell them in organic here and this will work great! ;)

I usually cook oatmeal for my 17 yr. old in the mornings before school (so important to have wholesome brain food for a long school day). I do keep those Quaker Instant Oatmeal Packets on hand for when I don't have time, but now I will make these ahead of time and keep them on hand instead. I'll throw cinnamon & brown sugar in ahead of time. This is also so much better because it's all natural.
Awesome, great idea!
Thanks for the great post. This will help more than you can imagine!

I've heard of doing this before but I'd never tried it. I just got in a large package of 1 minute oats to make the raspberry oatmeal roll recipe, so I can experiment.

I made a bunch of these for my boyfriend and his son a while back and they were a huge hit. The best part is being able to really customize the flavors, without the way-too-much sugar the commercial ones have. Don't forget about vanilla powder! It's a great addition to most flavors and really makes it taste rich and yummy!

Saving this one.

Bravo! Like a lot of people, I buy those stupid instant oatmeal packets for the office. No more! Occasionally my cooking friends and I get into a "how instant do things have to be" discussion, and the topic of instant oatmeal always comes up. I can't wait to spring this recipe on them.
