DIY Instant Oatmeal

This recipe is probably the easiest I've ever tried and you'll never want to buy those sugar-filled packets from the store again!  

It's so much cheaper and a lot healthier too!

It's great when I can find a recipe that has literally 1 ingredient in it. 1...uno...one.  I mean, how simple is that!?  Oats. Bam!

Here are some of my favorite add-ins to bring it to a whole other level:

• Maple syrup and chopped pecans
• Freeze dried fruits like strawberries or blueberries (Strawberries & cream, anyone?!!)
• Brown sugar and cinnamon

It's really up to you the amounts you like to add!

A simple toast in the oven, a quick pulse in the food processor and you're good to go!
