Questions about Quaker quick oats
How much Quaker quick oats should you use for one bowl of porridge?
A typical dry portion is 40 g, which makes one bowl; cook it with about 200–250 ml milk or water, adding a little more if you like thinner porridge.
How do you cook Quaker quick oats on the hob?
Bring 200–250 ml milk or water to a simmer with 40 g oats, then stir for about 2–3 minutes until creamy. Take the pan off the heat and leave the porridge to stand briefly before serving.
Can you make overnight oats with Quaker quick oats?
Yes. Stir the oats with milk or yoghurt and leave them covered in the fridge overnight; quick oats soften more than jumbo oats, so the result is smooth rather than chewy.
How should you store Quaker quick oats after opening?
Keep them in an airtight container in a cool, dry cupboard, away from steam and strong-smelling foods. Use a clean, dry spoon so moisture does not make the oats clump.
What can you add to Quaker quick oats to make porridge more interesting?
Try sliced banana with peanut butter, grated apple with cinnamon, or berries with yoghurt. For a savoury bowl, stir in a little grated cheese and top with a fried egg.
Can you use Quaker quick oats in flapjacks or baking?
Yes; they work in flapjacks, oat biscuits and crumble toppings, though they make a finer, softer texture than jumbo oats. For flapjacks, mix with melted butter and syrup, press firmly into a tin and bake at 180 °C until golden.
Are Quaker quick oats the same as instant oatmeal?
No. Quick oats are rolled and cut smaller so they cook quickly, while instant oatmeal is more finely processed and often sold in flavoured sachets. Plain quick oats have 9.4 g of fibre per 100 g, compared with 6.7 g in Quaker instant oatmeal.
Are Quaker quick oats a source of fibre?
Yes. A 40 g portion provides 3.8 g of fibre; the oats also contain 270 mg of magnesium per 100 g.
