Instant Oatmeal Packets

3 c quick cooking oats
salt
snack sized zip bags

Put 1 c oats in blender and blend until powdery.

Put in bag:
1/4 c oats
2 TBL powdered oats
1/8 tsp salt, optional

To make...add 1/2 c water and microwave 1 1/2 minutes.

Apple Cinnamon-Add 1 TBL sugar, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 2 TBL chopped dried apples
Sweetened oatmeal-Add 1 TBL sugar or Splenda
Brown Sugar Cinnamon-Add 1 TBL brown sugar, 1/4 tsp cinnamon
S'more-Add 6 mini marshmallows, 1 TBL milk chocolate chips
Oreo-1 crushed oreo, 1 TBL non-dairy creamer
Fruit & Cream-Add 1 TBL non-dairy creamer, 2 TBL chopped dried fruit

I got this recipe from a friend. I thought this is a healthy and $ smart way to make oatmeal, instead of buying instant oatmeal packets at the store. I love making things homemade whenever I can. It's nice to save money and feel good about what my family is and isn't eating...like additives and chemicals you can't pronounce. :)
