Instructions:
-
Mix all ingredients together: In a large bowl, combine the wheat germ, rolled oats, dry roasted sunflower seeds, and chopped dried fruit if desired. Stir until evenly distributed.
-
Store the mixture: Transfer the mixture into an airtight container, ensuring it is sealed tightly. Store at room temperature for up to 2 months, ready to use whenever hunger strikes.

Add the mix: Once the water reaches a rolling boil, add 1/2 cup of the oatmeal mixture to the saucepan.
-
Cook: Stir the mixture frequently, allowing it to cook for approximately 1 minute.

Let it stand: After cooking, cover the saucepan and let the oatmeal stand for 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Microwave: Place the bowl in the microwave and heat on high until the oatmeal bubbles up to the top of the bowl, typically around 1 1/2 minutes. Keep an eye on it to prevent overflow.
