Ingredients

14 servings

8 cups old fashioned oats
2 cups chopped nuts
2 cups chopped dried fruits
1/2 - 3/4 cup light brown sugar
2 tbsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp ground nutmeg
4 tsp kosher salt
1/4 cup flaxseed meal and/or 1/4 cup toasted wheat germ Optional

Instructions

Combine all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir to combine. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.
To serve, place 1 cup of the oatmeal mixture in a glass bowl along with 1/2 - 3/4 cup milk or water. Microwave for 90 - 120 seconds, stir and then let rest for at least 2 minutes before serving. *
* Adjust the liquid and the cooking time according to your preference. I like my oatmeal more chewy than mushy, so 1/2 cup and 90 seconds works for me. My boys like theirs a little more mushy, so 3/4 cup and 120 seconds works for them.
