You mentioned that it is weired putting egg in your oatmeal and just wanted to let you know that not only does my mother in law put egg in her oatmeal but she will also put chicken and instead of sugar she will put salt.

Thanks Gail,

That is awesome. I will mention this on an upcoming show. It never would have occured to me to make my own Instant Oatmeal!

Here’s a recipe for instant oatmeal packets, so you can control the sugar and salt.

Makes 8 packets

3 cups quick oats
salt
sugar (or sweetener)

8 zip sandwich bags

Process 1 cup of oats in a blender, 1/2 cup at a time, until it is as fine as flour.

In each sandwich bag measure 1/4 cup oats, 2 tablespoons oat flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 T sugar or equivalent sweetener

To prepare:
Mix a packet with 3/4 cup boiling water, stir, and let set 2 minutes.

Variations:
Apple Cinnamon: add 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and 2 tablespoons chopped dried apples to each packet.

Cinnamon Spice: ad 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and a scant 1/8 teaspoon of nutmeg to each packet

Raisin Brown Sugar: replace white sugar or sweetener with brown sugar or sweetener and add 1 tablespoon raisins to each packet.

Wheat germ: add 2 tablespoons wheat germ to each packet
