If you’re looking for a really quick and easy back to school breakfast for your kids I have a GREAT recipe for some quick instant oatmeal. Its much cheaper than buying those instant oatmeal packets and with this recipe you can help kids become more independent for back to school morning routines.
Homemade Instant Oatmeal Recipe
- 1/4 Cup Quick Oats
- 1 tblsp brown sugar
- 1 tblsp 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. You can omit the milk in the recipe but it does add nutritional value to the oatmeal.
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 orchildren’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.
