Mistura caseira para mingau de aveia instantâneo

Ingredientes

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

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Combine all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir to combine. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.

2. 2

   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. *

3. 3

   * 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.
