    The last one since the ingredients are only oats. Personally, I'd go for the old-fashioned cook on the stove type. It just takes more "real" to me!:smile:

    I agree, the fewer added (and seemingly unnecessary) ingredients the better.

    Steel Cut oats cooked the old fashioned way are your best bet. They are the least processes - no added crap.
