Quaker Organic Quick 1-Minute Oats
What it is
These are rolled oats that have been cut into smaller pieces and steamed. This processing allows them to cook much faster than traditional rolled oats. They are made from 100% whole grain oats, which are a good source of complex carbohydrates. The organic certification means they are grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. This product is a convenient option for a quick and hearty breakfast.
How people cook with it
This versatile ingredient is a staple for busy mornings and can be incorporated into many different meals.
- Quick breakfast bowls
- Baking ingredient
- Smoothie thickener
- Savory porridge
To prepare, simply combine the oats with water or milk in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir them well and microwave on high for one minute. For a creamier texture, you can cook them on the stovetop by bringing liquid to a boil, adding the oats, reducing heat, and stirring for about a minute until thickened. You can also add them to baked goods like muffins or cookies to add texture and whole grains. They can also be used as a binder in meatloaf or as a base for savory porridges.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to steel-cut oats, these cook significantly faster due to their smaller size and pre-steaming. Rolled oats, in general, have a softer texture than steel-cut oats. Instant oats are typically processed even further, resulting in a mushier texture when cooked.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store the remaining oats in a cool, dry place in an airtight container. This will help maintain their freshness and prevent them from absorbing moisture or odors. Properly stored, they can last for a considerable amount of time.
