Personal Notes:
Yes, I really did just copy the recipe off the old oatmeal box. Don't Judge! I used this recipe for years with excellent results. As for the (optionals)- salt is up to your taste... I recommend you DO use the cinnamon... Nutmeg is truly optional. You might opt to leave out the spices if you are adding a package of butterscotch bits to the dough... one of my kids especially likes them. Oh, and I actually did peel the label off that cylindrical container and cut out the recipe... too lazy to write it all out!
