My husband adds a handful of this to his hot oatmeal most mornings and loves it.

There is no oatmeal better out there, in my opinion, than this one!  I am very selective about my oatmeal. I've tried many brands, many types, from rolled oats to steel cut oats from Ireland, and this is my fave. I love this product because it's creamy and delicious, quality, it doesn't take too long to cook, and I feel good about purchasing it. I've purchased many other Bob's Red Mill products and am always very happy with them. I buy this product in the 3-pack from Amazon and I am SO pleased with the price value and the quality. Thank you for such a delicious oatmeal!

Love that it's organic and so quick to make. I make my own oatmeal mix with brown sugar, ground flaxseed, slivered almonds, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt and put it in 1/2 cup servings in small snack size Ziplocs. In the morning it is so easy to just grab a bag, cover with water, microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds, add a little milk and maple syrup and maybe some fruit. Easy and health breakfast. This brand always tastes great. I also make the Old Fashioned kind when I have more time.

Love it . I have it every morning in my oatmeal for breakfast. Plus the price is right too!

It's my hubby's favorite breakfast! The oatmeal cooks up creamy and soft, with a better flavor than the "Quaker" type rolled oats. As far as I'm concerned, the only use for rolled oats is for granola. BRM's oatmeal is just perfect.

I use this two ways:

1) I add a tablespoon to my instant oatmeal for added fiber and crunchiness
2) I add a cup to the fresh baked bread my wife makes.

Nothing better than a 10 grain bread!

I actually have never tried it as it was intended... you know... as a cereal. I guess I should one day. Hot right?

This is the best oatmeal that I've ever had.  I now have my family eating it and they love it as well.  It has twice the nutritional value of rolled oats, it's organic, and has an oatier, nuttier, grainer flavor.  Yes I said oatier.

You'll love it if you are an avid oatmeal hot cereal eater.

I have had both the classic flavor and the maple and brown sugar flavor.  First I will offer some comments about the product as a whole, and then about the individual flavors.

These are great for a quick breakfast anywhere you have access to hot water.  It has worked very well for me to fill them from the hot water machine at work, for example.  Then I just stir and let them absorb water for a bit and I am good to go.  What I particularly like is that these have whole chia seeds.  If you have ever put too much water in your oatmeal, you will know that it can get soggy pretty fast, and that makes it less pleasant to eat.  But, chia has an incredible capacity to absorb water and can rescue your oatmeal if you do that.  (Though the maximum fill level is pretty well marked on the inside of the cup so it is hard to mess up.)

I don't need to eat gluten free but it is nice this is available, for those who need it (I got this in a subscription box).  The flavors I have had are also vegan (and kosher) if that is of concern to you.  The texture is pretty pleasant, not quite as rustic as if you just took rolled oats and soaked them in water, but not quite as smooth as steel-cut oats that have been cooked for awhile.

The varieties I've tried each have 7 grams of protein and 7 grams of fiber, which is wonderful.  It is a somewhat small meal so if you are looking for something a little larger, a banana or some berries or a bit of chopped walnut or pecan would be a great addition, or you could have a cup of yogurt alongside this.

Classic: This has 210 calories and is very low in sugar.  I found it to be a little bland.  I have a few more cups left and I plan to shake a bit of cinnamon or ginger (do this sparingly) over it to add a bit more interest.  Oats are naturally sweet enough that you don't need to add sugar along with the cinnamon (I have found from long experimentation).

Maple and Brown Sugar: This has 240 calories and has a fair amount of sugar.  It does taste quite good, though, and does not need any additional spice or flavoring.

In the end, I am a fan of this product.  It is shelf stable, easy to grab on the run, has decent nutrition (though the sugar in the maple and brown sugar variety is a bit high), and is a nice change of pace from my usual KIND bars.

Great oatmeal taste with hint of tanginess from the cranberries. Clean, classic and convenient. Perfect for on-the-go and for travel. For instant oatmeal - it's superior. I don't even follow the main directions to add water then microwave it; I just add hot boiled water, wait anywhere from 5-10 minutes and it's perfect.

It's a tad sweeter than I prefer (I tend to have a lower tolerance for sweetness than the average person), so I just add more water past the line and it still has a decently thick/gooey consistency; I just have to wait closer to 10 mins. But at least this isn't as sweet as the Quaker Instant Oatmeal or other/generic brands.

Of the reviews that say the taste is bad; what?! I have to assume they must not like hot cereal or oatmeal to begin with...? Because I have to say I'm impressed with McDougall's so far. It even resembles steel-cut oatmeal. Will definitely subscribe from now on.

I love this stuff. Only drawback is ordering the multiple packs since a serving is only 1/4 cup. I end up giving some to friends so it's no savings ;)
Cooks up in 2 minutes in the microwave. Has a nice nutty texture and good flavor. If you like steel cut oatmeal give this a try--you may prefer it.

Very tasty with just the right texture: not too small or gummy. I use my instant pot to prepare perfect oatmeal: 1 cup oats in 2.5-3 cups water (depending on how liquidy you like your oats), 3 mins on high pressure + natural release (10-15 mins). Perfect every time!

I was so pleased to find the toppings at Amazon since my local store no longer carries it and I had become addicted.  It doesn't have too many calories and I eat it most mornings on my oatmeal but also on salads.  Great stuff and I now buy enough to freeze some so that I don't run out.

Taste is amazing. Pacage is easy to handle and pour out. I add this to my oatmeal every morning.

I hope Amazon has Holly's oatmeal available for a very long time because I am seriously hooked on it! The directions say to make it with milk, but I make it with water to reduce the (Weight Watchers) Points value to 3. I serve it with a little bit of sugar free maple syrup on top, and it's so delicious and filling. I made it with milk once and it was absolutely to die for. Holly's is naturally sweet, and the cranberries and almonds add a wonderful tanginess and texture.

This is the best oatmeal I have eaten.......it is so good and easy to make in the microwave! I cook it first then add cinnamon and a little honey with a bit of half and half. Yummy!!

I buy this repeatedly, so not much else to say. It's my second most favorite of their instant oatmeal types.
