Instant oatmeal fact: it gets a bad rap because it’s usually also packed with added sugars … but the plain version has about the same nutrients as regular oats!
This recipe will give you the best of both – because you can control the amount of sugar that’s in there!
You can double … triple … or quadruple this recipe and make a bunch of jars ahead of time.
Try experimenting with different nuts & berries.
You can even turn this into a breakfast parfait – add hot liquid, mix in ½ cup of plain Greek yogurt and let sit for 1-2 hours (or overnight).
Your dry instant oatmeal jars will keep for 4-6 weeks in a cool, dry place.
