Leftover instant oatmeal packets



The other day I was cleaning out my cupboards and came across John's packets of oatmeal from this past winter.  Knowing he doesn't eat oatmeal in the spring, I decided to use them in an oatmeal recipe.  I found an Oatmeal Breakfast Bread in Dorie Greenspan's cookbook which looked really healthy - no butter!  Of course, I followed her recipe loosely since I was already using instant flavored oatmeal i/o of the old fashioned oats.  I didn't have applesauce but did have apples so I grated one large apple and increased the milk by 1/2 cup.  It came out fantastic despite my substitutions.  John was happy to learn the cake didn't have any butter and ate the entire cake over two days.
