Raise your hand if you're not a morning person. These homemade fruit and nut instant oatmeal packets are a life saver on busy school mornings! Click To Tweet

I am not a morning person. I’ve tried and although I have made progress, I’ve also come to realize that I will never thrive on mornings.

This makes school mornings challenging for me. I want to make sure my kids have a good breakfast but more often than not we resort to toaster pastries. These homemade fruit and nut instant oatmeal packets are my life saver.

My kiddos like some sweet to their oatmeal so I add some semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of adding granulated sugar. You could also sweeten it with honey but as I said, I’m not a morning person so I like to dump and go.
