Brown Sugar for Hot Cereal

On a recent trip to SD we stayed with my sister. For breakfast she had a special brown sugar blend for oatmeal that was yummy.

We like oatmeal in this house, but instead of prepackaged servings we make our own. 1/2 cup of quick oats and your favorite toppings is all you need.

We like blueberries, strawberries, raisins, dried cranberries, dried cherries, walnuts, pecans, and brown sugar. Now that I've been introduced to this souped up recipe for brown sugar, we'll be using that! Simply mix it up and store in an airtight container.

Brown Sugar for Hot Cereal
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/4 tsp nutmeg

Combine all ingredients well, I used a fork to stir out any clumps. Store in airtight container. Use 1 spoonful per serving.

DIY: Instant Oatmeal

Above measures will make a single serving, make up as many as you want and have them in the pantry ready to go. Just add water and microwave on high 90 seconds.
