Homemade Instant Oatmeal 5 Ways...For Back to School!
The first thing you'll start off with are old-fashioned oats. Then you'll give those oats a toast in the oven and then a run through the food processor. Add a little sweetness and you now have instant oats! Yep, that's all you need to do, and if you don't want that toasted flavor, you can totally skip the time in oven, but I love the toasted flavor.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Instant Oat Base
2
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. *
3
Spread the oats in an even layer on 2 baking sheets and toast in the oven for ⏱️ 10-15 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Add the oats to a food processor or blender and pulse the oats until they are coarsely chopped. The more finely you chop them, the smoother your oats will be. I prefer to leave my oats on the large side since I like the texture. Add the oats to a large bowl. Add the sugar (I used 1/3 cup coconut sugar), salt, vanilla and cinnamon, toss well to evenly combine. Divide the oats into 12 (1/2 cup) portions, placing them in ziplock sandwich baggies or 8 ounce glass jars. Add the stir ins as directed below.
