Mommy's Instant Oatmeal

• 3 cups quick oatmeal
• 1 cup seven-grain cereal (I use Bob's Red Mill 7 grain hot cereal)
• 12 cup instant nonfat dry milk powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 14 teaspoon allspice
• 12 cup brown sugar
• dried fruit, to taste per serving
• raisins, to taste per serving
• chocolate chips, to taste per serving
• walnuts, to taste per serving
• vanilla extract, 1/8 tsp per serving
• banana, to taste
• applesauce, to taste
• granola cereal, to taste
• maple syrup, to taste
• honey, to taste
• molasses, to taste

1. Pour all ingredients into an air tight container and mix well to distribute them evenly.
2. Store in your freezer or pantry.
3. To Make Single Servings: Pour 1/2 cup of mixture and 1 cup of water, milk, or soy milk into a bowl.
4. Microwave on high 1-2 minutes.
5. Stir and let stand (mix continues to cook) for one minute before serving.
6. Stir in add-ins, serve.
7. Note 1-Thickness: Use less liquid to thicken or more to thin your cereal.
8. I make the recipe according to directions, it thickens as it cooks.
9. After it has cooked I add additional milk (actually Silk light vanilla soy) to thin it.
10. Note 2-Cooking time: Your cooking time may vary, be sure to watch carefully the first time you make it to avoid boiling over.
