Instant Oatmeal Packets

To make individual instant packets:

In a blender, blend 1/2 cup of oats until powdery.

Into each 10 (individual zip-lock type sandwich bags) place the following ingredients:
1/4 cup unpowdered oats
2 tablespoons powdered oats
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar (optional)

Close the top securely and store in a cool, dry place. Makes 10 packets of instant oatmeal.

Microwave directions for cooking:
Empty packet into microwaveable bowl. Add 2/3 cups water or milk. Microwave on HIGH about 1 1/2 minutes. Stir.

Conventional directions for cooking:
Empty packet into pan. Add 1/2 cup boiling water; cook and stir over high heat until thickened, about 1 minute.

Testing comment: This was good, but a lot of work for just regular oatmeal. I would just use regular oatmeal and cook it instead of this.
