Make Your Own Instant Oatmeal packets

Don't want to fork over the money on these boxes of packaged oatmeal?

This is a quick, easy and inexpensive way to have instant oatmeal packets around all the time. Here is a link to the original post at Endless Crafting. It's simple to do and the kids will enjoy filling the bags.

In a snack size ziploc bag place the following ingredients:

1/4   cup quick rolled oats

2  Tbsp ground rolled oats (place in blender to grind into a rough flour)

2  Tbsp powdered milk

pinch   of salt

1  Tbsp brown sugar

1/2   tsp cinnamon

*optional add-ins: raisins, mini chocolate chips, dried fruit

When ready to eat add 3/4 cup milk or water to oatmeal and mircowave for 90 seconds.

I like to add a package to my pancake mix to give it a little flavor and more stick-to-your-ribs morning meal.
