Same here...using a bullet blender so I dont even powder it. Oats, chocolate protien powder, amd pb powderI blend two servings of Kroger one minute oats into a fine powder and add it to my daily protein shakes along with a bunch of other stuff.
IME the whole oats taste best, none of that 1 minute stuff.
Then with brown sugar or maple syrup taste best but sucralose works good for a lower cal substirute but if you use sucralose then it's bets to add some cocoa powder and salt or some cinnamon to cover the sucrolose flavor.
Other options are adding a bananna or cut up apple when cooking and salt and sweetener to you desired levels.
Another option is to go overnight oats where I find some sort of "milk," cinnamon and sweetener really hit the spot
I skip both the instant oats and the quick oats.By 1 minute do you mean instant? Just to be clear, "quick" oats are whole oats rolled thin, just to be clear.
Glad you mentioned salt. Salt, even just a tiny bit, makes the difference between good and inedible.

When you get the regular whole oats the grain itself kind of plumps up and that doesn't seem to happen with even the quick oats.
The instant oats are, obviously, the worst of the bunch and remain flake like even when cooked although it does become soft and chewy.
While the quick oats are a big improvement over the instant oats they don't gain that plump grain quality that the regular oats do.
If quality is the priority then regular all the way.
The trade off for convenience in the quick oats does hit the sweet spot though as they are about 70%-80% as good as regular oats, so, I'm not hating on them at all.
I've never tried it with the frozen blueberries that sounds like a good idea.I just wanted to point out the quick oats aren't different nutritionally, they just cook faster.
I've tried them all. Thick cut, old fashioned, quick, steel cut, Scottish style, Irish style, all the brands, Bob's Red Mill, Silver Spoon...in the end plain old fashioned were the best combo of texture and convenience for me. I usually get Quaker but never noticed a difference between them and store brands.
Wild blueberries go right in while still frozen, melting instantly and lowering the oatmeal to eating temp quickly. A small amount of the darkest maple syrup I can get my hands on.
Sometimes a a dash of cinnamon or drop of bourbon vanilla if I feel like it.

If you're not, I'm always impressed with your additions to any conversation. Its the internet here, well thought out opinions aren't the norm.

What everybody is calling "regular" are "rolled oats." After cooking they retain texture. Instant are very thin and result in soft, mushy yuckiness. They come out very different when cooked.
I have not tried steel cut.
