Homemade Oatmeal Packets

Love the convenience of instant oatmeal packets but not the price? Maybe the thought of all the chemicals, additives, and preservatives that are in the prepackaged stuff has you nervous. It couldn’t be easier to make your own- saving money and cutting back on extra additives in your food at the same time.

Another bonus of making your own is that the variety you can create is nearly endless. With the variety of dried fruits and nuts available you can find a favorite combination for every family member, or simply create a packet of plain oatmeal and add your favorite fresh fruit after cooking in the morning.
