ROLLED OATS OR QUICK COOKING?

You are making a recipe that asks for oatmeal but when you get to the store you see that there are several varieties. You can actually use most any kind.

Quick cooking oats will give your finished product a very smooth finish and will not be very visible in the finished product.

If you use rolled oats you will have a coarser texture and will be very visible in the finished product.

So if you are making cookies, you can use quick cooking for a smoother cookie, but when you are making a crumble for on top of a dessert you would probably prefer rolled oats to give more texture and crunch.
