Serving Size : 8
.3 C Quick-Cooking Oats
.Salt
.8 Plastic Sandwich Bags
Put 1/2 C. oats in a blender and whirl at high speed until powdery;
reserve in a small bowl and repeat procedure with an additional 1/2 C.
oats. If you're using a food processor, powder the 1 C. of oats in one
motion. Into each sandwich bag put 1/4 C. unpowdered oats, 2 T.
powdered oats, and a scant 1/4 t. salt. Store in a box or airtight
container.
To serve: Empty packet into a bowl. Add 3/4 C. boiling water; stir and
let stand for 2 minutes. For thicker oatmeal, use less water; for thinner,
use more water. (I microwave for 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 minutes or until done
on high)
