Sort of Oatmeal

This delicious oatmeal combines flax seed, rolled oats, steel cut oats, barley, wheat bran, cracked wheat and oat bran. It is easily mixed dry ahead of time, then can be scooped out in single serving sizes for a microwave healthy breakfast in the morning. This is the recipe that I use for one person and makes about 9 servings. If you have others that will be eating it with you, by all means double or triple it.
