Instructions

At home, combine the oats, raisins, sugar, and cinnamon in a food-safe bag or container. Pack the peanut butter separately.
At camp, bring the water to a boil in your cooking pot. Stir in the dry oat mixture.
Reduce the heat and cook for the time listed on your oats, usually 1–3 minutes. Stir in the peanut butter and let stand briefly before eating.

Scaling changes ingredient amounts; pan size, cooking time, and water needs may need adjustment.
