For several years now I have been saying that I wanted to make my own instant oatmeal packets. Years now. And finally, thanks to our dear friend PINTEREST, I have found a recipe that I like and have tried it and have fulfilled a dream! Yay me! There are many variations to the basic recipe, but I chose the fruit and cream version. I have a lot of fruit in my food storage that I want to use and this is a perfect way to do that. I used peach this time, but next time I am trying mango. Yeah, that fruit.
Ingredients:
3 cups quick-cooking oats
Salt
Small (snack-size) zip baggies
Non Dairy Creamer (I used the non-fat and it is delicious!)
Sugar
Dried or dehydrated fruit
1. Put 1 cup oats in a food processor and process until powdery. Set aside in a small bowl.
2. Put the following in each baggie: 1/4 cup un-powdered oats, 2 T. powdered oats, 1/8 t. salt,
1 T. creamer, 1 T. Sugar, 2 T. fruit.
3. Store baggies in an air-tight container.
4. To serve: Empty packet into a bowl and add 3/4 cup boiling water. Stir and let stand for
2 minutes. For thicker oatmeal, use less water–for thinner, use more water.

Hi again Susie. I accidentally deleted your most recent comment. But thank you for your response!
Hi Susie. I would think that the organic powdered nonfat milk would work just fine. If that is something that you already have, I would try it with just some regular oatmeal and see how you like the taste.
Hello! Thanks for posting this! The main reason I'm interested in making my own fruit-and-cream oatmeal is for ethical reasons. (I believe that animal welfare is a very important issue.) And, none of the animal-welfare-friendly brands have come out with a fruit-and-cream flavored oatmeal yet. (I'm still waiting!) So, I want to make my own, but I can't seem to find a powdered coffee creamer that fits my standards. There is organic powdered nonfat milk, and there's also organic powdered whey. Do you think that either of these would work?
Thanks!
