You can adjust the amount of liquid to make it thicker or thinner. For added flavor, consider stirring in a bit of honey, maple syrup, or fresh fruit after preparation.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to steel-cut oats or rolled oats, instant oatmeal has a finer texture and is pre-cooked, which significantly reduces the cooking time. The addition of cranberries and flaxseeds offers a distinct flavor profile and added texture that is not typically found in plain instant oatmeal.
