Ihave been an oatmeal eater since I was kid. Quick oats is just whole oats milled down finer so it cooks quicker. I prefer the steel cut whole oats. Longer cooking but better consistency IMO. Lots of combo grain hot cerals out there too. Got to have honey and raisins and maybe some apples or bananas or all of the above. I also will put wheat germ on top too. McDonalds oatmeal is a decent deal in a rush Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device
Its a convience thing - the steel cut oats (come in a tin can) take a while to cook but taste almost nutty and the texture is much better. Less processing generally means better for you as well. I have to admit they really only come out 3 or 4 times a year on cold saturday or sundays when we have time. If I am going to all that trouble premium toppings as suggested above all come into play. I actually enjoy oatmal with salt and a little butter as well. I dont think it just has to be a sweet thing. I ussually use the instant or quick cook stuff ona daily baisis 2 times a week or so before work which is OK but nowhere near the same thing.
