How To Make Homemade Oatmeal Packets

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!
