Instant Oatmeal Packets

1/4 cup quick cooking oats
2 tbs. pulverized quick cooking oats (process in blender until flour consistency)
1 tbs. sugar (brown or granulated, we actually added 2 tbs. brown sugar, I know-shame)
pinch of salt
pinch of cinnamon
1 tsp. powdered milk, optional
1 tbs. dried fruit, optional
Mix all ingredients in a small zip lock bag. We were able to get 35 packets out of one 42 oz. container of quick oats.
To cook, boil 3/4 cup boiling water in microwaveable bowl. Stir in oatmeal. Easy- peasy -cheap!

I didn't have a lot of oatmeal, but I made 7 of these packets and I was so excited! Thanks for posting...a LOT cheaper than buying them made in the store and not too hard to put together.
