Homemade Oatmeal Packets That Will Save Your Budget

Homemade Oatmeal Packets That Will Save Your Budget is the best recipe out there for making your own oatmeal packets!

I don’t know about your kids but, my kids love instant oatmeal. As a mom that is always looking for a healthier version, I was on a mission to find something that was healthier (less sugar) and easier on my wallet. Let’s face it those little packages of oatmeal goodness are expensive! So, when I came across this easy homemade oatmeal, I was sold. SOLD, I say!

I found many homemade oatmeal recipes but, all were a little too complexed for me, either too many ingredients or weird flavors. This recipe is very close to what you find in the store but, with less sugar and no preservatives, of course!

My kids eat this oatmeal goodness for a snack and, of course, for breakfast.

This recipe is allergy-free and gluten-free, a total win-win in my household. Add your favorite fruits and voila, instant breakfast or snack!
