Rolled Oats

Is it possible to used the normal cheap bags of rolled oats and put them in a blender and make ready brek out of them?

My daughter will only eat ready break not the proper oats,so I was hoping just to blitz them up finely as pass them off as ready brek.

Has anyone else tried this?

    Haven't tried this but it sounds feasible. If it fails have you tried shop's own brand ready brek - Aldi do a good one.
    I have plenty of willpower - it's won't power I need.

    This does work, but you need to ad slightly less milk / water than you would with normal ready brek, as it has an extra thickening ingredient.

    There is a recipe for it called Instant Oatmeal Ala Home (includes variations/additions) :D
