Simple Truth Instant Oatmeal Original
What it is
This is a package of instant oatmeal. It is made from rolled oats that have been pre-cooked, dried, and then cut into smaller pieces. This processing allows the oats to cook very quickly when hot water is added. The original flavor means it is plain and has no added sweeteners or flavorings. It comes in a convenient pouch for easy storage and use. This product is designed for a fast breakfast option.
How people cook with it
Instant oatmeal is a popular choice for busy mornings. It can be prepared in minutes with just hot water or milk.
- Quick breakfast
- On-the-go meal
- Warm snack
- Base for toppings
To prepare, measure the desired amount of instant oatmeal into a bowl. Pour hot water or milk over the oats, typically a 1:1 ratio of oats to liquid, though you can adjust for your preferred consistency. Stir well and let it sit for a minute or two until the oats have absorbed the liquid and softened. You can then add your favorite toppings such as fruit, nuts, or a drizzle of honey to enhance the flavor and texture. It is ready to eat once it reaches your desired temperature and thickness.
How it differs from similar foods
Instant oatmeal cooks faster than rolled oats or steel-cut oats because the oats are processed more. This makes them more absorbent and quicker to soften. While it offers convenience, the texture can be softer and less chewy than other types of oatmeal.

How to keep the rest
Store the remaining instant oatmeal in its original packaging or an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Ensure the container is sealed to keep the oats fresh and prevent moisture absorption, which can affect their texture and shelf life. Proper storage helps maintain the quality of the product for future use.
