What You’ll Need:
- Oatmeal {I use quick oats}
- Ziploc baggies {or other containers}
- Add-ins of your choice ~ some fun fillers include: Brown Sugar, Raisins, Dried Fruits, Blueberry Craisins {thanks, Vanessa}, Powdered Milk {optional} ~ we add fresh milk when making ours, so I leave the powdered milk out.
What You’ll Do:
- Measure out about 1/2 cup of oatmeal for each bag,(you can also add powdered milk, so all that is needed is water), then add in some fun flavors! {see list above for ideas}
- Now, my boys are *always* hungry, and used to gobble up 2 packets of oatmeal, so I make larger bags with 1 full cup of oatmeal…
- We cook the oatmeal by adding milk {to the consistency desired}, and microwaving for 45 – 60 seconds.
- When you’re ready to cook the oatmeal, another add-in that goes great with Brown Sugar is Homemade Maple Syrup!
- There you go… you’re all done!
Thanks Frugal Girls!!!
