To prepare, simply measure the desired amount of oatmeal into a microwave-safe bowl. Add the recommended amount of hot water or milk, stirring gently to combine. Microwave on high for the time specified on the packaging, usually one to two minutes, or until the oatmeal reaches your desired consistency. Stir again before serving. For a stovetop method, combine oatmeal and liquid in a saucepan and heat, stirring, until thickened.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to steel-cut oats, instant oatmeal is processed more extensively, resulting in a softer texture and faster cooking time. Rolled oats, while less processed than instant, still require more cooking time than this product. The pre-added maple and brown sugar flavors offer a distinct sweetness profile.
