After making instant oatmeal from packs and trying to adapt the quick oats for years, I finally created this basic high octane (fiber & protein) recipe to fuel our mornings. To accommodate changing tastes and my desire to experiment I mix and store the basic recipe. The desired add-ins are mixed when I serve the cereal. The recipe can also be increased to accommodate OAMC. Ingredients:
3 cups quick oatmeal |
1 cup seven-grain cereal (i use bob's red mill 7 grain hot cereal) |
1/2 cup instant nonfat dry milk powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon allspice |
1/2 cup brown sugar |
dried fruit, to taste per serving |
raisins, to taste per serving |
chocolate chips, to taste per serving |
walnuts, to taste per serving |
vanilla extract, 1/8 tsp per serving |
banana, to taste |
applesauce, to taste |
granola cereal, to taste |
maple syrup, to taste |
honey, to taste |
molasses, to taste |
Directions:
1. Pour all ingredients into an air tight container and mix well to distribute them evenly.
2. Store in your freezer or pantry.
3. To Make Single Servings: Pour 1/2 cup of mixture and 1 cup of water, milk, or soy milk into a bowl. Microwave on high 1-2 minutes. Stir and let stand (mix continues to cook) for one minute before serving. Stir in add-ins, serve.
4. Note 1-Thickness: Use less liquid to thicken or more to thin your cereal. I make the recipe according to directions, it thickens as it cooks. After it has cooked I add additional milk (actually Silk light vanilla soy) to thin it.
5. Note 2-Cooking time: Your cooking time may vary, be sure to watch carefully the first time you make it to avoid boiling over.
