Make Your Own Instant Oatmeal!!!

My children and husband really like instant oatmeal, but I only buy it when we go on camping trips because it's more expensive and has less fiber than regular oatmeal. My mom sent me a link to a blog about cooking with food storage and the author had posted a recipe for making your own instant oatmeal. Super cool!!! We have tried the cinnamon spice and maple/brown sugar flavors. My little ones like the maple/brown sugar better, but I had quite a time figuring out how to mix together a teaspoon of liquid maple flavoring with the dry ingredients. What worked was mixing the ingredients (minus the oats) in the blender and then running them through the sifter. We prefer not to blend up the oats as directed in the recipe.
