Homemade "Instant" Oatmeal

Into a sandwich size Ziploc bag put the following ingredients:

1/2 cup quick oats

3 teaspoons powdered milk

2 tablespoons raw sugar

1 tablespoon cinnamon

Once these are in the Ziploc bag shake it up to mix it together. 

To make the oatmeal, pour the contents of the bag into a microwave safe bowl and add one cup of hot water.  Stir well and cover the bowl loosely (place a paper plate over it so it doesn't make a mess)... microwave on high for one minute...stir and allow to sit for one minute so the oats can absorb the water...stir and add in any fruit….chopped dried apple or fresh, raisins, dried cranberries, fresh blueberries...or any other fruit that you like.

Experiment with different sweeteners as well...try it with 2 tablespoons brown sugar, or drizzle some maple syrup on it after it is ready to eat!
