I decided to try oatmeal for the first time (a while back). So I grabbed a box of Quakers Instant Maple and Brown Sugar flavor. Mmmmm. Since then I've had gastric bypass surgery. I now buy the LOWER SUGAR variety (thank you Quaker for making it available to me) and literally eat it almost daily! Funny side story: one of our 3 cats literally sits beside me when he hears me make it every morning.....just patiently waiting for me to finish because he knows he is going to have the goodness of licking up the bowl. Great start of the day for me. And an enjoyable treat for my oldest fur baby!

You can’t go wrong with this instant oatmeal. I’ve only really tried the Maple Brown Sugar flavor, but I’m sure all other flavors are just as tasty. The packaging is good in a sense that it’s quick and convenient…I can just grab and go for a quick nutritional breakfast. You can eat it plain or dress it up with granola or your favorite topping. Yum!

I like the texture and flavor of this oatmeal. I see that people are saying the recipe has changed and they hate it. It seems healthier than before. I am not looking for an overly sugary breakfast, I want to get my fiber in with some flavor. I think its great, quick and easy. I do agree that the smell of this is very strong, almost sickeningly sweet. However, that's not found in the flavor which I appreciate.

After consuming your instant oatmeal lower sugar variety pack daily for the past 4 years I suddenly find you changed the formula along with the packaging. The oatmeal has a very sickly taste, it appears to taste extremely salty, the texture looks like grit, and feels like it in your mouth. I thought if I purchased a few more boxes it might change, alas I was wrong. This change of formula is disgusting. I will no longer purchase this product and am looking for an alternative.

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!!!!

My whole house smells like maple syrup and I am still literally I tasting this in my mouth 9 hours after I ate it. I’m concerned about that and why my throat hurts. It was cooled off for 20 minutes before I ate it. I know this because I was on a phone call.

I am 66 years old, and I grew up with Quaker Oats and all Quaker prducts (I remember it was between my 4th and 5th grades when Life Cereal first appeared). I have always love Quaker Oats, and when the instant oatmeals appeared, I tried and loved them all, but to me the most delicious was the Maple and Brown Sugar -- simple, with just the right accent to the original plain Quaker Oats flavor. The others are all great, but the Maple and Brown Sugar has a special place in my heart !

I have eaten Quaker Oatmeal all my life (64 yrs young) and I have just recently been introduced to your Maple Brown Sugar Instant Oats. They are absolutely fabulous. I don't even need any added sugar or butter or milk. Just the way they come is very satisfying and tastes DELICIOUS! Children will love them too.

We love Quaker oats maple and brown sugar because of the convenience, flavor, and the fact it's a wholesome small meal. We enjoy simple great tasting food. Maple brown sugar is exactly that! We live a healthy lifestyle so when we pack our lunches for work or even when go on a vacation we always include a packet of Quaker instant maple and brown sugar oatmeal. It's a staple in our home.

I tried oatmeal for the first time in my life about a month ago and I decided that I really really like it. So I bought a box and started eating it every morning, and within two weeks I had lost 4 pounds! I tried almost all of the other flavors and decided that I like maple and brown sugar the best, but the other flavors are quite good too. (Not the weight control ones though) Some days I add a little cinnamon to mine to add a little extra flavor. I hope that Quaker keeps the formula just as it is because in my opinion it is perfect!
