Homemade Instant Oatmeal Recipe

• 1/4 Cup Quaker Quick Oats
• 1  tblsp Domino brown sugar
• 1 tblsp Carnation instant dry milk

Add approximately 3 – 4 tablespoons hot water or microwave as you would your instant oatmeal packs. I like to make my instant oatmeal ahead of time and pack in a hefty baggie so everything is all measured out. For a diet version of my instant oatmeal just omit the milk and switch to Domino light sugar. You likely won’t notice the difference.

If you’re helping a child start making their own breakfast in the mornings then you would just measure out the ingredients and place them in a bowl or children’s mug the night before with the tablespoon next to it for adding water. Be SURE to purchase quick oats and not a 3 minute cooking time oatmeal for this recipe.
