Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups quick-cooking oats
  • ½ cup instant milk powder skim or whole
  • ½ cup ground flax seeds
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • ⅛ tsp salt

Instructions
 

  1. Stir together all the ingredients for the master mix, ensuring that any brown sugar clumps are broken up.
  2. Scoop out ⅓ cup into twelve containers with lids that have a one-cup capacity. Canning jars work great! Alternatively, use plastic zip bags and empty the contents into a bowl when it’s time to eat.
  3. Add your favourite mix-ins! See the flavour options below for ideas.
  4. When you want to enjoy some oatmeal, boil water and add ⅓ cup of boiling water to each serving. Stir and allow to sit for 30–60 seconds to thicken.
Choose the flavours you want to make and add the following to each serving:
  1. Strawberry: 1 tbsp freeze-dried strawberries
  2. Pumpkin Spice (with ground pumpkin seeds): Grind ¼ cup roasted, shelled pumpkin seeds. Mix with 1 tbsp pumpkin spice blend. Add 1 tbsp of this mix to each serving. Makes 4 servings.
  3. Blueberry: 1 tbsp dried blueberries
  4. Chocolate Coconut: 1 tsp cocoa powder + 1 tbsp dried coconut
