McCann says: Made with All Natural Flavors

Abi says: The best microwave oatmeal ever. Ever. I buy this stuff at Trader Joe’s and fall into a deep depression whenever a cold morning rolls around and I have neither McCann’s instant oatmeal nor coffee. You don’t want to see me on mornings like that. You should feel sorry for George on mornings like that.

This oatmeal is sweet, but does not taste ultra-sugary even though it contains exactly the same amount of sugar as just about every other oatmeal on the market. Seriously, it is about 1/4 sugar, which is why I’ve knocked it down to four stars. Yeah, the deliciously perfect for oatmeal flavors of Maple and Brown Sugar translate to sugar and sugar, but don’t think about that too much and you’ll be okay.

Another reason why this is not a five star item? The milk requirement. I suppose that I probably could make this oatmeal with water, but contrary to the front of the box, the back of the package (where the cooking instructions reside) recommends making it with milk. So I make it with milk. This keeps the oatmeal firmly in ‘at home’ territory. Milk is not office friendly, not just because you shouldn’t be using a half cup of the milk expressly for coffee for your oatmeal, but because there’s something a little sketchy about community milk. It just hangs out in the fridge all day collecting off flavors from coworkers’ leftovers. And who knows how long that pad thai’s been sitting on the shelf.
