Prep these deliciously simple homemade Instant Oatmeal Packets ahead of time and have them on hand ready to eat in seconds! Kickstart your day with a high protein, high fiber bowl of oatmeal that doesn't include a side of high sodium and loads of sugar!
Take one cup of the oats and pulse in a food processor or blender until the flakes are broken up. You’ll have a mixture of powder and flake pieces.
Stir together the rest of the master mix.
Scoop out 1/3 cup into 12 containers that have a 1 cup capacity. Think mason jar, Tupperware, etc. Alternatively, use plastic zip bags and dump into a bowl when it’s time to eat.
Add in your favorite mix-ins! See notes for ideas.
When you want to enjoy some oatmeal, boil water and add 1/3 cup water to each serving. Stir and allow to sit for 15-30 seconds before eating.
Notes
If desired, omit milk powder and prepare oatmeal with warm milk instead of water.
Chia seeds and flax seeds help thicken the oatmeal and add nutritional value, but can be left out if desired.
