“Instant Flavored Oatmeal” Bread

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.
CAN WE USE BUTTER IN PLACE OF SHORTENING? THANKS.
Yes, it would work just fine.
For apple cinnamon oatmeal should I use applesauce or diced apples??? Thanks
I would use diced apples!
Lisa – what a fabulous way to use up that oatmeal. VERY clever – I'm pinning this now.
I love this idea!
Wonderful idea…love your blog. WIsh you had a print option for all your recipes.

Great idea! Thanks for sharing this at Fat Camp Friday this weekend. Enjoy your weekend, see you next week!
What a great use for those oatmeal packets that no one eats around here! I've emailed this recipe to myself. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe!
My mom really could have used this recipe when we were kids. We didn't want to eat the Banana flavor either!

that is a wonderful idea to use up oatmeal! looks like a yummy bread.
What a great way to use up those leftover oatmeal packets!
I love this!!! Usually there is a flavor that is just 'stuck', but I bought some gourmet flavors – blueberry muffin and coffee flavored (for me) which are not good as oatmeal. They were buy one get one free and I couldn't bear to throw them away!! This is perfect! Thanks for sharing.
That is very clever of you. And the bread looks wonderful.
Happy weekend! Don't forget to come over and share a recipe at Savory Sunday!!
What a clever idea. I am sorta feeling a peach and maple combo.
this is SUCH a great idea! i hate all those left over flavors, ha. my mom would have LOVED to have this when we were growing up and refused to eat the apple cinnamon packets!! thanks for sharing! i adore this 🙂

I like this idea. I love the smell and flavor combinations of instant oatmeal but just can't bring myself to eat it. So, this is a great way to get those flavor combinations in something I do love – bread! Thanks for joining the party on Sweet Indulgences Sunday!
