Method

1. Set oven to 350F
2. Spread the oats and the nuts on an un-greased baking sheet. Toast for about 10-15 minutes.
3. Let the oats and nuts cool, then pulse a few times in a food processor to lightly chop.
4. Mix with the rest of the ingredients and stir well.
5. Store in an airtight container.
6. To serve, scoop out about 3/4 cup of the mixture, and add enough boiling water (or scalded milk) to just cover the oatmeal. Stir and let sit, covered, for 2 to 3 minutes.
7. Add a splash of milk, half and half, almond or coconut milk for an extra treat.
