HOMEMADE INSTANT OATMEAL MIX

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir to combine. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.
• To serve, place 1 cup of the oatmeal mixture in a glass bowl along with 1/2 - 3/4 cup milk or water. Microwave for 90 - 120 seconds, stir and then let rest for at least 2 minutes before serving. *
• * Adjust the liquid and the cooking time according to your preference. I like my oatmeal more chewy than mushy, so 1/2 cup and 90 seconds works for me. My boys like theirs a little more mushy, so 3/4 cup and 120 seconds works for them.
