Not all of Fly guy's hotels serve breakfast. With his cooler already packed to the max, muffins and the like are not an option for his long trips. The last few weeks I've been tossing in homemade 'instant oatmeal' packets.
These are so customizable. Just add some hot water from the hotel coffee pot and you are set. Apparently he said hot tap water worked fine also. I don't know, maybe sleep deprivation makes tap water oatmeal seem tasty?
We like the texture of whole rolled oats, but if you like a finer texture you may try instant oats. My kids ate this exact recipe for breakfast leaving them begging for seconds. Begging for oatmeal? Oh yes, super mom moment.
Instant Oatmeal Packets
serves 1
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup mix ins (I chose dates and pecans)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
optional: 1-2 tsp brown sugar
Right before serving add in approximately 2/3 cups almost boiling water. Let sit a few moments to allow the water to absorb.
