A commercially prepared oat product in which the oats are precooked, flattened, and enhanced with salt or sugar or other flavorings. The only preparation required for the home cook is to add boiling water to the instant oatmeal to create a hot cereal.
Frosted oatmeal cookies full of surprises . . . rhubarb, dried cranberries, and vanilla chips. Everyone will love the combination of sweet and tangy flavors, along with the slightly chewy texture.
