It is always interesting to see what posts people talk about the most. A while back I posted about how I make my own instant oatmeal. A lot of my readers really liked the post. Since then I have made a few more flavors and I wanted to share them.
DIY Instant Oatmeal
My kids love oatmeal in the morning and making my own instant oatmeal is a great way to slip some food storage into our diet.I mix and store my instant oatmeal in a clean number 10 can but any air tight container will work. You can put it in individual bags so that it is ready to go, or you can measure out ½ cup every time you are going to make it. I purchased some inexpensive measuring cups and just leave the ½ cup in the container with the oatmeal.
I use my blender to blend up 1 cup of the oats, this makes the texture of the oatmeal more like the store bought packets.
When I make my own mixes like this one I like to put a label with the recipe on the outside of whatever container I’m using to store it in. That way when it is gone I can easily make some more. I thought you might like a printable version too so here it is.
Banana Bread Instant Oatmeal
3 C Quick-Cooking Oats ( I have also used regular old fashioned oats and it works just fine)
1 cup freeze dried bananas (it is okay to substitute dehydrated banana chips)
1/2 cup dry milk
1/2 cup sugar (optional)
½ cup chocolate chips or chopped walnuts nuts
Pinch of Salt
Put 1 C. oats in a blender (or food processor) and whirl at high speed until powdery. Combine powdered oats with all other ingredients mix well. Store in airtight container.
**You do not have to blend up the oats, blending it makes it more like the packets of instant oatmeal.
