How to Make Dry Oatmeal Mix

  1. In a large bowl, combine 4 cups rolled oats, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 cup wheat germ, 1 cup powdered milk, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon, 1 cup chopped dried fruit, and 1 cup chopped nuts.
  2. Stir well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
  3. Transfer the mixture to an airtight container.
  4. Store in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months.
  5. **To Prepare Oatmeal (Microwave):** Shake the container well. Measure ½ cup of the mix into a microwave-safe bowl. Add 1 cup of water. Microwave on high for 3 minutes, or until desired consistency is reached. Stir halfway through.
  6. **To Prepare Oatmeal (Stovetop):** Shake the container well. Bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a small saucepan. Slowly whisk in ½ cup of the mix. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until desired consistency is reached.
  7. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 1 minute to allow the oatmeal to fully absorb the liquid.
