Yes, you can always use instant. But food editor Margo True swears by steel-cut: "I love it because it has a chewier texture than instant or ordinary rolled oats and a deep, nutty flavor." It also freezes well (add the fruit after defrosting), so make a big batch on the weekend.
All the flavors of fall are rolled into this delectable dessert. Make this spicy pumpkin cake roll, and use the remaining cake mix to make a quick batch of cupcakes!
