What did you do to the oats?! The stevia coating in my mouth is bad enough, but the oats feel raw no matter how much boiling water I add. It REFUSES to mix into a cohesive dish, it is mealy and flavorless, and there is absolutely no taste of maple or brown sugar anywhere in my bowl. Maybe next time, don't just flavor white sugar to be "maple", and instead try adding MAPLE SYRUP. Molasses couldn't hurt either. I have never seen my sister throw out food, but in this case, she drop kicked the box into the garbage bin.

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.

What in the world is it being flavored with!? After a day and a half and two showers, I still smell like this stuff, like the maple brown sugar smell is still coming off my skin. I'm a little concerned about it. It tastes so good, but it's weird smelling like my breakfast all day.

The lower sugar maple and brown sugar change is awful. It smells like celery and the smell doesn't leave my hands after opening the packet. No matter how many times I wash. I will not be buying this anymore. It was my daily breakfast. Bye-bye Quaker. Shame.

I agree with the reviews here - I ate Maple Brown Sugar Instant every day at work. then they changed it, horrible. Saw the classic in AZ bought a box but didnt have it in MA. Then they did again. Much better than the second version but still not original. All natural flavors doesn't always mean better. In this case it is a sweet fake taste ( I love sweet - but this is fake sweet) Just get back to the real original - and advertise you have done so - tired of checking to see

Maple brown sugar is my favorite, I enjoy it with milk. I tend to like my breakfast quick and easy and filling. Rather it is instant or regular, nutrition is the key part of my breakfast. These are the reasons why I choose Quaker oats instant hot cereals.

I'm so disappointed in the negative comments from the folks that have been eating Quaker since the 70's!!!! This hasn't changed...YOU HAVE!!! (Please don't try the Cap'n Crunch you old farts!!!) Just had a dbl bowl of Maple/Brown Sugar. I'm so satisfied...happy actually! Continued Success (apologies for the attack...I'm just kidding...stay healthy above everything)

The reason I like Quaker oatmeal and the reason I give it five stars is because it is real food that is so good for you. It's not this highly proceesed stuff that is so full of fat, sugar and salt. So much of that kind of food, while it might taste good, is just so bad for you. Do yourself a favor and eat some real food. Quaker oats is a good place to start, you'll be glad you did.

I love oatmeal for breakfast usually slow cook mine in 1% milk with a small amount of evaporated milk. It tastes rich and creamy. I decided to try the instant packages and they were horribly sweet at 29-34 grams of sugar per serving!! This is like drinking a 12 oz. can of Coke (39g) or 3 Krispy Creme donuts (30g) or a serving of yogourt with fruit (25g). Quaker, YOU CAN AND MUST do better to help us make healthy choices.

I saw that there was a new box but didn’t realize it had a new taste. Wish I would have known it before I’d purchased TWO boxes. So disappointed with weird texture and the ‘improved’ taste. I eat this every single morning and am now switching to toast until I find a better alternative.
