Ingredients
- 4 cups Quick-cooking oats
- 1 cup Brown sugar (light or dark)
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cup Powdered milk (optional for creaminess)
- 0.75 cup Boiling water (for cooking single servings)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the quick-cooking oats, brown sugar, salt, ground cinnamon, and powdered milk (if using). Stir until the ingredients are fully mixed and evenly distributed.
Step 2
Drizzle the maple syrup over the mixture and stir well to ensure the syrup is evenly incorporated. The mixture may clump slightly but will break up easily when cooking.
Step 3
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions (approximately 1/2 cup each) and store in individual airtight containers or resealable plastic bags. This allows for easy grab-and-go breakfast servings.
Step 4
To prepare a single serving, transfer one portion of the oatmeal mix to a microwave-safe bowl or regular bowl.
Step 5
Pour 3/4 cup of boiling water over the oatmeal mix. Stir well to combine and allow to sit for 1-2 minutes until the oats are softened.
Step 6
Optional: For a creamier texture, microwave the mixture on high for 30-60 seconds, stirring halfway through.
Step 7
Serve hot. Optionally, drizzle with extra maple syrup, top with additional brown sugar, or garnish with fresh fruit for added flavor.
