* Quick Cooking Oats - These are oats that have been pressed slightly thinner than rolled oats. They cook more quickly, but retain less of their texture. You can substitute Rolled Oats or Instant Oats for quick cooking. If you want a chewier consistency, substitute steel-cut oats and just increase the cooking time according to package instructions.
