    For calories and nutrients they are almost exactly the same. The difference is in the texture - old fashioned uses whole oats where instant is cut oats. That's it.

    Personally I do old fashioned because it has a bit more 'crunch' to it unlike instant which is more porridge like in consistency. I do them almost every day, cooked in the microwave with a little brown sugar and a pad of butter.

    Sooooo good. :)

    PS - Cook time in the microwave is only a few minutes but you have to watch it so as to not let it boil over.
