What are Old fashioned oats?

Old Fashioned oats is a term created by the Quaker Oat Company that describes rolled oats. Rolled oats are steamed, rolled out then flaked. This process helps them to cook more quickly than steel cut oats. This type of oat is more "old fashioned" than newer quick-cooking types of oats.

Substitute for Old fashioned oats

Steel-cut oats (longer cooking time) OR Instant oats, may become more "mushy" if used in baked goods.
