New taste is not great

Hands down my favorite breakfast food as I can't eat eggs. Just this morning I got some of the new recipe and it was shocking enough of a different taste to make me go online. I don't taste any brown sugar or maple. I keep seeing people talk about maple syrup but do you know you can get granular maple sugar? I always assumed that was what was mixed in the past. The new taste isn't terrible, it definitely tastes more like slow cook oats, which again, isn't bad but not what I expected or wanted. Its unpleasant enough for me to write a poor review. Since I can't eat eggs, wheat or honey, might just have to make my own oatmeal.

Beyond Delicious

I have never enjoyed oatmeal, but after having my child, I was advised to eat oatmeal every morning to help with breastfeeding. I decided to try Quaker Oats Maple and Brown Sugar, and I am addicted! I don't even feel like my day has started until I have a bowl. It's so delicious!

Formula change was a bad idea!

Better do a good ROI analysis on your profits from this unnecessary formula change. From all of the reviews I have read, you are going to lose quite a few customers. I hope the savings you get from lower production cost makes up for the loss of revenue. These had been a staple on my grocery list for years...stress on past tense.

Way Too Sweet

The taste is way too sweet. I really miss the original Maple and Brown sugar product from the 1990s before all the recipe changes took place. I would eat this every morning. Now I buy 1 box per year hoping that the taste has improved. It hasn’t. I like the idea of added fiber and protein, but I want the taste and texture to be what it was.

Hate the new recipe

I used to eat instant oatmeal all the time, but I just can't bring myself to buy it since the recipe changes. I bought a new box recently in hopes it has changed back or was a "bad batch" no such luck. Very disappointed and glad to see I am not the only one. I will not be purchasing this product again unless the recipe is changed back or fixed.

WHY????

I have always LOVED the Maple Brown Sugar oatmeal, I was looking forward to a bowl this morning and it doesn't smell the same and certainly doesn't taste the same. Hate to toss a brand new box of oatmeal but not going to force feed it to myself. Please change it back!!!!

Tastes different :/

I really liked this oatmeal, but the box that I bought last week tastes so bad :( It's not nice and sweet anymore, it doesn't have the nice maple-y taste that I loved. Also, the texture doesn't feel satisfying anymore, it feels like mush. Is there a reason for this? I'm really upset because it was my favorite :(

Can't put my finger on it

Been eating quaker instant oatmeal packets for 35 years. Always Cinnaom Spice and Maple Brown Sugar. Not sure exactly but the Brown sugar tastes artificial and little more like cream of wheat than what it tasted like in years past. Hope they are able to bring back a more real Brown sugar flavor. Switched over to plain 1 minute and add my own cinnamon and Brown sugar.

Where's the Maple and Brown Sugar super taste??

Reading the posts I agree. I tasted a big difference in the Maple and Brown Sugar Instant Oats. It tastes like paste! Please please bring back the original well-loved Maple and Brown Sugar FAST. I don't care if it is higher in calorie. If I wanted low calorie it'd buy that product.

What on earth?

I ate this almost daily as a kid. A very long time ago, but not so long that I don't remember Exactly what it used to taste like... Idk what you guys did to it but it's simply awful. I couldn't even finish my bowl. It's oatmeal and sugar- how can you screw it up So Badly?
