Need Recipe Ideas for Instant Oatmeal?

Question

I have approx. 100 packs of instant oatmeal..no one in my house will eat the "instant".you know the flavored packs like cinnamon, banana and so on. I need some recipe ideas like adding them to a cookie batter or something to put these packs to use. I like to be creative but this one has stumped me. Any ideas? I really want to work them into my cooking

Answer 1

Make a cookie!

1 (43 g) package quick-cooking oatmeal (your flavor choice)
1 tablespoon whole-wheat flour
2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon vanilla



Comebine ingredients and spread onto a greased cookie sheet or pizza pan. Bake at 350 for 8 - 10 minutes.

I think you'd be able to add them to things like banana bread or combine with some extra brown sugar and some butter to make a topping. Or try making granola!

Answer 2

I have had this problem before too! Thankfully I can share some ideas with you, because I tried them and they worked awesome!

When a cookie recipe calls for Oatmeal, measure out the correct cups of Oatmeal, using your cinnamon instant oats. It tastes just like what the recipe calls for, yet better.

Ive used packages of oatmeal, on the top of apple crumble recipes. For the No Bake cookies that call for oats. And for homemade granola cereal. Flavored oat meals are best for this, such as Banana, or strawberry. Sprinkle some in your favorite Yogurt in the mornings. Or when making healthy shakes, grind in a few flavored instant oats.
Its fun to play around with, use your imagination, and come up with the tastiest treats, that leave your friends dumbfounded at the scrumptious taste!
