Easy to assemble, this mix features large flake oats and makes a healthy, comforting bowl oatmeal in 3 minutes. Mix in or top with your favorite fresh, frozen or dried fruits, nuts and seeds. This batch will make 14 bowls of oatmeal.
Combine 2 1/2 cups of large flake oats, flax, sugar, salt and pie spice in food processor. Pulse to a coarse meal. For extra creamy oatmeal, pulse longer, for oatmeal with more texture, keep it coarse.
