The label Quaker's oat oatmeal says to 1/2 cup i guess to make a full cup,but what if i use 1/3 cup will that

Question

make half a cup and how will i make it thicker thanks

Answer 1

No, using 1/3 of a cup will not make 1/2 of finished oatmeal. This is simple math. If you only want 1/2 cup of finished oatmeal (which is a meagre meal), then use a 1/4 cup measure.

You can make oatmeal thicker by making it with milk instead of water. Add some brown sugar, too, that's really good.

Answer 2

fill your 1/3 cup measure 3 times to make a cup.
