Ingredients

quick cooking oats(you will need about 1/2 cup total per serving, so the amount will depend on how many servings you want to make up--1/2 cup for 1 serving, or about 6 cups for 12...and anywhere in between)

kosher or sea salt(about 1/2t per serving, so, again, adjust as needed)

dry milk(about 1T per serving, adjust as above)

Various flavoring additions ie brown or white sugar, cinnamon, mini chocolate chips, dried fruits like blends, berries, apples, bananas(though these don't rehyrdate as well)

I suggest starting with about 1T sugar per serving, 1/2t cinnamon, and about 3T of any of the dried fruits or chocolate chips, but, again, once you try it, just adjust to your preference. ALSO, if you want to make one of the 'and cream' type recipes, like Peaches and Cream, etc, just add another 1/2T dry milk to your ingredients

Directions

In food processor or similar piece of equipment, pulse 1/2 of the oats(more or less depending on what consistency you like your oatmeal), with the salt

Add equal amount of the whole oats to the blended ones, then add your additions/flavorings, as above, in a bowl or into the airtight containers.

When ready to eat, add about 1 cup(more or less by 1T or so at a time depending on your dried ingredients) boiling water to bowl.

Stir :)

**remember, this is a guideline recipe, only...just an informative one to letcha know the basics of making your own instant oatmeal. Play around with it and see if you can come up with your own masterpiece! My photos are of 1 bowl with the ingredients to make about 1 serving of Brown Sugar Cinnamon Oatmeal, and, the finished bowl :)

Always a good idea to have dried foods at hand! This mixture would also be great to add to oatmeal cookie batter! Thanks for sharing, and FIVE to ya! :+D

Awesome! I eat instant oatmeal a lot at work, but I don't like that I don't know what's in it, and it's expensive. I've always thought about making my own, but never played with it. Thanks for the great recipe and ideas! Now I can have it just the way I want all the time! Five forks! - Natalie

My favorite is the maple and brown sugar. If anyone knows how to get that flavor without putting maple syrup in it, I'd love to know. Just shoot me a message. Thanks!
