Portable Porridge Mix with Milk Powder and Sultanas

by

A dry mixture of oats, milk powder and sultanas can be portioned in advance. Water is added when it is time to prepare a bowl.

Makes approximately 30 portions

Ingredients

  • 1kg oats
  • 400g dried skimmed milk
  • 250g sultanas
  • Optional sugar, cinnamon, vanilla or chopped chocolate
  • Water: 3 measures for every 1 measure of dry mixture

Method

  1. Combine the oats, milk powder and sultanas in a large, dry container. Close the lid and shake, then stir to distribute the fruit evenly.
  2. Measure a portion into a separate container. A 90ml measure was used in the original method, but the portion can be adjusted while keeping the same water ratio.
  3. For each measure of dry mix, add three matching measures of water. If marking a container, the first line represents one measure and the upper line represents four measures in total.
  4. Prepare the oats according to the cooking directions on their packet. Use a saucepan or a microwave-safe bowl with enough room for the mixture to expand. A sealed storage container is for transport, not cooking. Add optional flavourings to taste.
