Instructions

Begin by assembling your cups. The recipe above makes 1 serving. Feel free to make as much, or as little as you want.
Place a serving of oats and powdered milk or substitute into each jar.
Top with whatever you have handy. Nuts, seeds, dried fruit, homemade cookies, etc.
When you're ready to eat, add 1 cup water and microwave for 4-5 minutes. Be careful, the dish will be hot when you take it out of the microwave!
If you don't want a warm oatmeal, add 1 cup non-dairy milk the night before and leave to sit in the fridge. Enjoy cold in the morning.

Notes

To make a microwave-free version of these oats: replace the rolled oats with quick flakes and pour hot water over the mixture instead of microwaving it. Allow to sit for 2-3 minutes before enjoying.
