Since the previous reviewer thought they were too sweet (there's already sugar in the packets!), I eliminated the final 1/2 cup of sugar and spread the batter in an 11 x 7 pan; I also used the raisins and spice flavor. After baking the batter about 45 minutes, I cut it into squares. They were still too sweet for my husband, so I took them in to work, where everyone thought they were great! If I make them again, though, I'll try reducing the sugar by another 1/2 cup and baking in a 9 x 13 pan for 20-25 minutes. GREAT way to use up a flavor nobody cares for anymore! (Even Quaker Oats Web site doesn't have any recipes using INSTANT oatmeal!)
