I decided to try cooking the instant oats with about one quarter cup of regular oats.
The texture held (hurrah!) but the flavor remained the same (boo!). My children watched me eat the stuff so I put on my smile and “enjoyed” the meal.
I did try to sprinkle the oats with cinnamon-sugar to see if it would do anything; it wasn’t enough. Plans to sprinkle more the next day.
You cooked instant oats? Like on the stove top letting them soak while the water boiling? All instant oats need is some hot/boiling water poured over them – enough to get to your desired thickness. Then they’re ready to eat.
I can’t guarantee this will improve the flavor but it should help the mushiness factor.

Oh man, I gotta try that. I’m personally up to my 10th day so I’m going to have to go back to the Instant and try that.
