Yield Makes 3-4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1/4 cup light-brown sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread oats on a rimmed baking sheet; bake until lightly toasted but not browned, about 15 minutes. Let cool. Pulse in a food processor until coarsely chopped. Mix in 1 cup of a combination of add-ins (see our suggestions below), and stir in sugar, salt, and cinnamon, or more to taste, before storing in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
  • To serve, stir in boiling water until desired consistency is reached. Let stand 2 to 3 minutes.

DIY CINNAMON SPICE INSTANT OATMEAL

Sure, you could just buy flavored instant oatmeal at the supermarket. But DIY-ing is just as easy and makes for twice-as-tasty results packed with tons of crunchy, salty and sweet goodies, including nuts and seeds galore, raisins, warm spices and a bit of maple sugar. If you can't find maple sugar, it's okay to swap in equal parts light brown sugar.

Time 10m

Yield 15 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 cups quick-cooking oats
1 cup roasted salted pepitas
1 cup raisins
1 cup raw walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup unsalted roasted sunflower seeds
1/2 cup maple sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
Fresh berries, for serving

Steps:

  • Combine the oats, pepitas, raisins, walnuts, sunflower seeds, maple sugar, cinnamon, salt and cardamom in an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to 3 months.
  • To serve, stir to make sure all the ingredients are evenly distributed (some tend to fall to the bottom). Combine 1/2 cup instant oatmeal mix with 1 cup water or milk in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high until the mixture is bubbling and much of the liquid is absorbed, about 3 minutes. Stir, then top with fresh berries.
