Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup whole raw hazelnuts
  • 1/2 cup raw pecan halves
  • 1/2 cup dry milk powder (or soy milk powder for vegan)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1 heaping cup chopped assorted dried fruit
  • 1/4 cup pepitas (the green inner kernels of the pumpkin seed)
  • 1/4 cup freshly ground flax seed (optional)

Instruction

  • Set oven to 350F
  • Spread the oats and the nuts on an un-greased baking sheet. Toast for about 10-15 minutes.
  • Let the oats and nuts cool, then pulse a few times in a food processor to lightly chop.
  • Mix with the rest of the ingredients and stir well.
  • Store in an airtight container.
  • To serve, scoop out about 3/4 cup of the mixture, and add enough boiling water (or scalded milk) to just cover the oatmeal. Stir and let sit, covered, for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add a splash of milk, half and half, almond or coconut milk for an extra treat.
