Make your own oatmeal packets

This is such a great idea sent to me by my friend and co-worker Darcy. Check out this website for other good ideas!  http://afewshortcuts.com/

Homemade instant oatmeal packets
(wheat-free, egg-free, milk-free, soy-free, peanut-free, nut-free)

3 cups quick-cooking oats (look for certified gluten-free oats)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

 

1. In a food processor pulse 1 cup of oats until coarse powder.

2. Mix powder oats with whole oats and brown sugar in large bowl.

3. Mix in raisins or dried cranberries if desired.

4. Place 1/3 Cup Oatmeal Mix in each ziploc bag or single serve container.

5. To serve: Empty packet into a bowl. Add 3/4 cup boiling water. Stir and let stand for 2 minutes.

6. For thicker oatmeal, use less liquid – for thinner oatmeal, use more liquid.
