Cheap Oatmeal for Breakfast Ideas

Items you will need: 3 cups oats (quick works the best), salt, sugar, 8 small zip lock bags or sandwich bags: Blend l cup of oats in a food processor or a blender on high until it is powdery. Set this aside. Then put the following into each baggie. Add 1/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp of the regular oatmeal, add 2 Tbsp of the flour oatmeal you have just ground. Add 1/8 tsp. salt. Add 1 Tbsp of sugar then put in your bag. When you cook it dump into a bowl and add 1/2 cup of water. Microwave for 1 minute in the microwave. Now if you like it a little more moisture in it you can add a little more water, up to 2/3 of a cup. Some fun things for you to try is as follows: Cinnamon sugar, add 1 Tbsp brown sugar and 1/2 tsp of cinnamon. For raisin just add 1 Tbsp of raisin. You can add about anything that you would like wheat germ, or nuts or coffee creamer, or even dried fruit, craisins just anything you would like to add. In all of these cases just add one Tbsp of your choice. Have fun with this one. It can save yourselves a lot of money.
