Notes
Prep ahead option: Sometimes I prep my oatmeal for several days at a time by placing all the dry ingredients into baggies beforehand – 1 serving in each baggie (storing in the fridge, if needed). Then in the morning I grab one bag, toss the contents into a bowl, add the wet ingredients and pop it in the microwave for a quick & healthy breakfast!
