Homemade Instant Oatmeal

What could be quicker and more nutritious in the morning than a steaming hot bowl of homemade instant oatmeal with all your favorite toppings? Delicious! I buy my rolled oats from Wheat Montana in 25 pound bags. These sacks provide my family with breakfasts and snacks all year long. We make homemade granola, baked oatmeal, oatmeal cookies and bars, and other tasty treats.

Since I learned to make homemade instant oatmeal, our breakfasts can be prepared quickly and easily using regular rolled oats. Give this recipe a try:

Instant Oatmeal

1 cup of oats, powdered using a food processor
2 cups of oats
8T powdered instant non-fat milk
1t salt
Variety of additions (see below)
8 plastic bags or small food containers with lids

In each of the 8 plastic bags add 2T powdered oats, 1/4c regular oats, 1T instant milk, and 1/8t salt. Add whatever oatmeal additions you desire (see below).

To make a bowl of oatmeal, empty contents of one plastic bag into a bowl and add 3/4c boiling water*. Let sit 2 minutes. Stir and eat!

We enjoy the following additions to our oatmeal:

1T brown sugar
Cinnamon
Dried apples, chopped
Raisins

* You may have to adjust the amount of boiling water you add. Experiment!
