| Quaker instant here too. I love how easy it is for breakfast or a snack and there are so many ways to make it different- brown sugar, maple syrup, any fruit, apple sauce, protein powder... |
| I just started having steel-cut overnight oats. They are much chewier than old fashioned oats, but I love the texture. I use 1/4 cup each of the oats and whole milk. In the morning, I add one banana, 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/2-1 cup frozen blueberries, and a lot of cinnamon. I let it sit to allow the berries to thaw. It’s delicious! |
Steel cut is healthier because it’s nit as processed as ‘old fashioned’ or instant. That’s why you have to cook it for about 30 minutes . |
| Yes, about once a week in the fall and winter. I make Quaker old fashioned at home, but what I really love is the really soft stuff you get in cafeterias and places like Au Bon Pain. I can’t seem to get that same texture at home. |
| Yes for lactation. |
| Quaker instant made with water and sweetener (honey or brown sugar). I just started having it daily for breakfast as part of a dietary change. It's gross but filling. |
| Not if I can help it. |

Old fashioned oats.
We make overnight oats with maple syrup the night before. |
| Quaker instant with blueberries. |
| Oatmeal and raisin cookies. Chewy with butter. |
| I like making muesli. Mix dry oats with a bit of coconut oil, syrup, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt, along with any seeds or nuts you’d like. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes. Crunchy oats! |
| I've been doing overnight oats in the fridge, warming them up and adding some nuts and sliced banana. Delicious. |

1/2 cup oats 1/2 cup water 1/2 cup low-fat milk 1+ tablespoon peanut butter or almond butter Little bit of sugar (per your tastes) Microwave 2 min 30 sec, no need to stir ahead of microwaving. Can add other ingredients as you like |
| I only like overnight, slow cooked oatmeal. I add raisins and a little brown sugar, maybe maple syrup. A touch of cream if it’s calling to me. |
| Just started eating McCanns Steel cut instant oatmeal. It's a little pricier but really good. I eat it plain. |
