Cook Quaker Quick Oats

For variety, add spices, flavorings, toppings or wheat germ to quick oats.


In 1901, four American grain pioneers consolidated and incorporated as the Quaker Oats Company. In 1921, the company introduced Quick Quaker Oats. While oats took 20 minutes to cook, quick oats took a mere five. Quaker Old Fashioned Oats and Quick Quaker Oats both are whole oats that are rolled to flatten. During processing, Quick Quaker Oats are cut into smaller pieces so that they cook faster. In 1950, the company reformulated its quick oats, processing them to cook in just one minute. With Quick Quaker Oats, you can prepare a nutritious meal in a minute or two. Add this to my Recipe Box.
