Homemade Instant Oatmeal

From http://frugalupstate.blogspot.com/search/label/Recipes
(Makes 8 Packets)

Ingredients:

3 Cups Quick Cooking Oatmeal
1 teaspoon salt

Put 1 cup oatmeal in the blender or food processor and blend to a powder
(you may want to do this 1/2 C at a time).

In each of 8 zipper style baggies 1/4 cup un-powdered oats, 2 tablespoons powdered oats, and 1/8 teaspoons salt.

To use: Empty packet into a bowl. Add 3/4 cup boiling water. Stir and let stand for 2 minutes. For thicker oatmeal, use less water – for thinner oatmeal, use more water.

You can adapt this recipe to many different flavors. For brown sugar oatmeal add 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar to each. You can also add raisins, splenda, chopped dried apples, or even make a fruit and cream version by adding 1 tablespoon powdered creamer and 2 tablespoon dried fruit.
