In a large bowl, combineall dry ingredients Store in an airtight conatiner in a cool dry place for up to 6 months. Yield aprox 8 cups total. To prepare oatmeal: Shake mix well and measure out oatmeal into bowl, add water, and microwave for 3 minutes. Or on a stovetop, in a saucepan, bring water to a boil; slowly stir in 1/2 cup mix. Cook and stir over medium heat for 1 minute. Remove from the heat. Cover and let stand for 1 minute or until oatmeal reaches desired consistency. For Rice cooker: Before going to bed put 1 part oats mix and 3 parts water in the rice cooker. (A full cup of oats will make three medium or two large servings.) Soaking overnight makes the oats cook more quickly and it also minimizes the risk of boiling over. In the morning turn on the rice cooker and forget. Come bake in aprox 30 minutes for a yummy, warm breakfast. Some times I will use Milk or apple juice instead of water. When serving add more milk to likeing and honey if you like
