Because... I love oatmeal with all my heart.
I started making my own homemade instant maple brown sugar oatmeal a few years ago in the midst of trying to find easy ways to save money. I realized I was spending twice as much buying premade servings to get half of what I could have made for less. In addition to saving money, I love a good DIY recipe and being able to customize my own instant oatmeal.
I prefer to buy the largest instant oatmeal container available and increasing my measurements accordingly. The recipe below usually lasts me 3-4 weeks.
