blueberry PEcan Homemade Instant oatmeal

Makes 4 dry cups of instant oatmeal mix

Ingredients:

• 4 cups old fashioned rolled oats

• 1 cup freeze-dried blueberries

• 1 cup chopped pecans

• 1/2 cup brown sugar

• 1/4 cup flaxseed meal  

• 2 tsp ground cinnamon

• 1/2 tsp ground cardamom

• 1 tsp kosher salt

• Milk, yogurt, or fruit of your choice for serving
  

To make:

1. Add the oats to a blender or food processor and pulse a couple of times to grind the oats into smaller pieces. They should be similar in texture to instant oatmeal, but not too finely ground.

2. To a large bowl, add the ground oats, blueberries, pecans, brown sugar, flaxseed, cinnamon, cardamom, and kosher salt. Mix well, then store in an airtight container for up to 2 months.

3. To prepare the oats, add equal parts of boiling water and the instant oatmeal mixture to a bowl, mix well, and let sit for a minute or two until the oats absorb the water. I like to add greek yogurt and bananas to my oatmeal, but feel free to add any toppings you like!
