Rep Power: 1 | I love steel cut oats, but am often too lazy to cook them(not a morning person). I love oatmeal in general, with the exception of instant, just the wrong texture for me. My favorite "everyday" oatmeal is old fashioned rolled oats.
But nothing can match the nuttiness of the steel cut!

Rep Power: 10 | Funny you mention that.....  Don't Say Diet: Added fruit may make you an oatmeal fan San Jose Mercury News, USA - 2 hours ago This apple harvest oatmeal is slightly adapted from a Food Network recipe. I cut the amount of butter in half and use fat-free milk to save some calories ...

It has a consistency of "grape-nuts" and takes about 30 minutes to cook in boiling water.
Definitely not instant!
The nutritional numbers are the same as rolled oats and instant oak (at least on the McCann's brand)

Alton to the rescue!
