Some how, even with four kids, I always end up with one flavor of Instant Oatmeal that no one wants. Either the kids aren’t in the mood for that flavor or they just don’t like it! After lots of trial and error, I finally came up with a recipe that utilizes all those leftover packets! This is a very simple and quick bread that’s moist and delicious!
1/4 C milk
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 x 5 Inch Loaf Pan.
Mix the oatmeal packets, flour, baking soda and salt together; set aside.
In a separate bowl, mix together the milk and lemon juice; set aside.
Cream together the shortening, vanilla and brown sugar.
Add the eggs and beat thoroughly.
Add one half of dry ingredients, mix until combined.
Add sour milk and mix well.
Add the remaining dry ingredients and mix until thoroughly combined.
Fold in the fruit (you can barely see the mashed bananas).
Pour into prepared pan.
EXACTLY what I was trying to find! You are a lifesaver 💚. Thankyou for the great recipe!
unfortunately the only flavor left over for us is PLAIN…:( doesn't sound like a bread would be any better than the bowl of oatmeal itself.
