INSTANT OATMEAL MIX

This tastes remarkably similar to the maple and brown sugar instant oatmeal varieties you buy in little packets. Save money by making your own! For each batch of oatmeal, combine 2/3 cup quick-cooking oats with 1 to 2 tablespoons of mix; add boiling water until desired consistency is reached.

INSTANT OATMEAL MIX (OAMC)

I love making my own oatmeal mixture because I know exactly what's in it (many store-bought packets have additives), it's cheaper (every penny counts!), and I think it just tastes better. I keep a large Tupperware of this mixture in my desk at work, along with a 1/4-cup measuring cup; I give the Tupperware a quick shake before measuring out my serving. Alternatively, you could prepackage servings in sandwich-sized Ziplocs. 1/4 cup is about the same amount as the store-bought packets, so that's the serving size the recipe is based on, but I often measure out 1/2 cup portions.

Time 6m

Yield 8 1/4-cup servings, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups quick-cooking oats
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup chopped walnuts (or dried fruit pieces)

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in a Tupperware. Store in a cool, dark place.
  • When ready to serve, mix a rounded 1/4 cup of the mixture with 1/2 cup of water (or 1/2 cup mixture plus 1 cup water).
  • Microwave for 1 1/2 minute (slightly longer for 1/2 cup).

Tips:

  • Use a variety of oats. Steel-cut oats have a chewier texture and take longer to cook, while rolled oats are quicker to cook and have a creamier texture. You can also use a combination of oats for a unique texture.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins. Dried fruits, nuts, seeds, and spices are all great additions to instant oatmeal mix. Get creative and experiment with different flavors.
  • Make a large batch and store it in an airtight container. This will save you time in the mornings and ensure that you always have a healthy breakfast option on hand.
  • Use your instant oatmeal mix to make other recipes. You can use it in pancakes, waffles, muffins, and even cookies. The possibilities are endless!

Conclusion:

Making your own instant oatmeal mix is a great way to save time and money. It's also a healthier option than store-bought mixes, which are often loaded with sugar and other unhealthy ingredients. With a little planning, you can have a delicious and nutritious breakfast that's ready in minutes.
