- Warm morning meal
- Dorm room staple
To prepare, simply open one of the individual cups. Add hot water or milk to the fill line indicated inside the cup. Stir well to combine the oats and flavorings. Let it stand for a minute or two to allow the oats to fully absorb the liquid and thicken. You can adjust the amount of liquid to achieve your preferred consistency. Some people like it thicker, while others prefer it more soupy. It is ready to eat once stirred and slightly cooled.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike rolled oats or steel-cut oats, this instant version is pre-cooked and dried, then cut into smaller pieces. This allows it to cook very quickly when hot liquid is added. The flavorings are also pre-mixed, saving the step of adding sweeteners and spices separately.
Who it is for
Busy individuals and students often rely on this for a fast and easy breakfast.
How to keep the rest
Store the unopened cups in a cool, dry place. Once a cup is prepared, it should be consumed immediately. Any remaining prepared oatmeal is best discarded as it is not intended for later consumption.
