DIY “Instant” Oatmeal

 

2 C. Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats

½ C. dried Fruit, such as raisins or craisins, diced dried Apples or diced Dried Apricots

½ C. slivered or chopped Roasted Nuts

½ tsp. ground Cinnamon

 

Mix well and store in sealed container. When ready to make, scoop 1/3 C. mix into a deep bowl. Add 2/3 C. water and stir well. Microwave on high for 2 minutes, until water is absorbed and oats are tender. Oatmeal will thicken as it cools. If you prefer thicker oatmeal, scale back the water by 1-2 T. Add milk and/or maple syrup if desired.

Add fruit by season if desired
