I’ve been making oatmeal from the canister for a while. If you want to spice it up sometimes add dried cranberries, cherries, dates or blueberries. I use honey to sweeten (supposed to be good to keep allergies in check!) But I do find that its frustrating to pull out the measuring cup every morning. slivered almonds and pecan “dust” work well for a different texture. I’m sure it wouldn’t hurt anything if you wanted to microwave it, but that makes it more difficult for the little ones to prepare themselves. I’m pretty sure my 2 1/2 year old could make it without using the microwave! Great idea!

just mix with water. The serving directions are listed above. Sometimes, we cover it with a plate and let it set for a few minutes to steam.

I do the same thing, but I store them in in squatty 1/2 pint canning jars (not for ones used while hiking though). I can grab it, add water, eat out of it, and then wash and reuse so I’m not wasting so much plastic. It’s great for work!
