Christmas gift recipe: Oatmeal



Sugarfree Oatmeal in a Jar
(great Christmas present)


I wanted to make a present for my cousin who is diabetic and eats oatmeal every morning. I couldn't find a recipe on the internet, so I invented this one. It is sweet and delicious! If you want the real sugar, sustitute the Splenda with white or brown sugar.

Mix in a large bowl:

4 cups oatmeal
1/2 cup flaxseed
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 TBS sliced almonds
1/4 tsp. salt
2 cups dry coffee creamer (I used fat free)
1 cup Splenda sweetner
1/4 cup raisins (or any other dried fruit)

Place in large-mouth jars or in a ziplock storage bag. Tie with ribbons and the following directions:

Stir 1/2 cup boiling water into 1/2 cup of oatmeal. Let sit one minute. ENJOY!
