By Hklbrries

From "Whole Grains for Busy People," by Lorna Sass (Clarkson Potter, 2008). Prepare this oatmeal in a thermos and it will be ready when you get to work. To make a batch of mix in advance, triple or quadruple the dry ingredients and scoop out 3/4 cup for each daily portion.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 2 tbsp slivered almonds, toasted
• 1 heaping tbsp raisins
• 1 to 2 tsp sugar, to taste
• 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
• Pinch of salt
