These make your own oatmeal packets are a great, healthy breakfast option to have around the house, or take while traveling for a quick and hearty breakfast or snack on the go.It is also a great breakfast to keep stashed in your office drawer and also works as a hearty afternoon snack. All you need to do is add hot water and you are set. Simplicity at it’s best.
I like to mix up different combinations of ingredients to keep it fun and healthy at the same time. The flavors featured here are Cinnamon Raisin, Cranberry Coconut, and Brown Sugar Walnut.
Go ahead and try making other flavor combinations of your own. We’d love to see / hear what you create, please share in comments or on Facebook.

Combine all ingredients for one flavor combination, ie Cinnamon Raisin, in a snack or sandwich size bag. (Tweak sugar to preference, when at home I skip the sugar and just mix in mashed banana). Store until needed.
