Questions about Quick oatmeal
How do you cook quick oatmeal on the hob?
Put 40 g quick oatmeal and about 200 ml water or milk in a saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring, and cook for 2–3 minutes until creamy; add a splash more liquid if it thickens too much.
Can you make quick oatmeal in the microwave?
Mix 40 g quick oatmeal with about 200 ml water or milk in a deep microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 1½–2 minutes, stir, then leave it to stand for a minute; use a large bowl because it can bubble up.
Can you use quick oatmeal for overnight oats?
Yes. Stir it with milk or yoghurt and leave it covered in the fridge overnight. It softens more quickly than rolled oats, so the result is softer and less chewy; add fruit or nuts just before eating.
How should you store quick oatmeal?
Keep it in an airtight container in a cool, dry cupboard, away from steam and strong-smelling foods. Once cooked, refrigerate it promptly in a covered container and eat it within 2 days; reheat until steaming, adding water or milk to loosen it.
Can you use quick oatmeal instead of rolled oats in porridge or baking?
You can swap quick oatmeal for rolled oats in porridge, flapjacks and oat muffins, but it cooks faster and gives a softer, less textured result. In baking, avoid packing it into the measure; weigh it if the recipe gives a weight.
What is the difference between quick oatmeal and instant oatmeal?
Quick oatmeal is cut or rolled into thinner pieces than traditional porridge oats, so it cooks in a few minutes. Instant oatmeal is usually finer still and may include added sugar, salt or flavourings; plain versions can generally be prepared with hot water.
What can you add to quick oatmeal to make it more filling?
Try stirring in a spoonful of peanut butter, Greek yoghurt or chopped nuts, then add banana, berries or grated apple. A pinch of cinnamon works well with fruit, while a little salt brings out the flavour in savoury porridge.
