- 175 grams 2 cups + 35 grams (6 tbsp) gluten-free instant oats, divided
- 76 grams 6 tablespoon sugar*
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 30 grams 3 tablespoon chia seeds
- Mix-ins (optional, see suggestions below)
Grind the smaller amount of oats in a food processor or spice mill.
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, a stir to make sure the ingredients are evenly dispersed.
If you want to make all your baggies the same flavor, add your mix-ins now.
Divide your ingredients evenly amongst 6 snack-sized plastic zip bags. If you want to add different flavors, you can add them to each baggie.
To prepare, empty the baggie with your oat mixture into a bowl or mug. If you want to make it in a microwave, add a scant half cup of water and heat for 1:30- 2mins. Stir well and allow to cool slightly. If you hate the microwave, you can add a scant half cup of boiling water and let it sit until the oats are tender, about 3 minutes.
