The first thing you'll start off with are old-fashioned oats. Then you'll give those oats a toast in the oven and then a run through the food processor. Add a little sweetness and you now have instant oats! Yep, that's all you need to do, and if you don't want that toasted flavor, you can totally skip the time in oven, but I love the toasted flavor.
