Instructions

To make the mix:

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Stir until all ingredients are evenly distributed in the mix.
3 1/2 cups quick oats, 3 1/2 cups old fashioned oats, 1 cup steel cut oats, 1/2 cup ground super seed blend (i.e. hemp, flax, and chia), 1/3 cup maple sugar, 1/3 cup monkfruit sweetener, 1/3 cup vanilla protein powder , 1/4 cup non-fat milk powder, 2 tbsp cinnamon, 1 tbsp vanilla powder, 1 tbsp fine sea salt
Transfer the mix to an airtight container and store at room temperature.

To serve:

Microwave: Combine 28g (3 tbsp) oatmeal mix, 160ml (2/3 cup) water (or milk), and any mix‑ins in a microwave‑safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 to 1½ minutes. Stir, cover, and let stand briefly until thickened.
Stovetop: Combine 28g (3 tbsp) oatmeal mix, 160ml (2/3 cup) water (or milk), and any mix‑ins in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until creamy and the oats reach your desired consistency.
Overnight: Combine 28g (3 tbsp) oatmeal mix, 160ml (2/3 cup) water (or milk), and any mix‑ins in a jar or container. Refrigerate overnight. Enjoy chilled, or warm briefly in the microwave.
For thicker oats, reduce the liquid to 120 ml (1/2 cup). For creamier oats, increase the liquid to 180 ml (3/4 cup).

Notes

For flavor variations, add dried or fresh fruit cut into small bits, shredded coconut, nut butter, chopped nuts or seeds in your favorite combinations. I like:
- dates, apples and cranberries
- figs, blueberries and hazelnuts
- dates, pineapple and coconut
- bananas, chocolate and peanut butter
Nutrition facts are an estimate based on the specific brands of the ingredients that I have in my pantry.
- 100 calories refers to the base oatmeal mix - adding milk or any mix-ins or toppings will result in a higher calorie breakfast.
