Oatmeal On The Run - cooking recipe

Ingredients

oatmeal (rolled NOT instant)
raisins (or any dried fruit)
nuts, chopped
brown sugar (or honey or agave or maple syrup)
cinnamon

Preparation

Fill a half pint (jelly jar) half full of oatmeal.
Add the goodies.
Pour boiling water to just below the threads.
Invert a few times,.
Let sit for at least15 minutes.
Add butter and milk if you want.
The texture will be a bit different that what you cook on the stove.
This can be made in a thermal container and it will stay hot much longer and results in a texture more like stovetop.
Obviously 1 pint jar is 2 servings, 1 quart is 4 servings.
Don't have a canning jar, use what you have. Fill it half full of oats and then top with boiling water after your goodies -- that's the trick.
