It is for most people. If you're allergic or insulin resistant, it might not be, but since you haven't indicated as such, I'll say with almost complete certainty that it is healthy.

Sure, if it's not full of sugar. Those instant flavored packets usually are.

Your best bet is unflavored and add your own fruit.

Steel-Cut Oats and Rolled oats/old-fashioned oats have many beneficial compounds, including antioxidants, soluble fiber, and beta-glucan. The beta-glucan in oats is effective at lowering both “bad” LDL and total cholesterol. Oat fiber may have additional benefits - helping to control blood sugar, improve insulin sensitivity, and even lower blood pressure.
When preparing the oats don’t add any sugar. Add some blueberries for flavor.

How do quick oats compare to old fashioned oats in terms of health?

I consider it a healthy option, if you add sugar etc than not necessarily.

Or cinnamon. No added sugar apple sauce or other fruit sauce. Slivered almonds for protein.
I forgot. I pour in milk and let it soften. No cooking.

My favorite breakfast that I ate almost everyday while nursing as part of a healthy diet that was conscious of micronutrients, macronutrients, and caloric content (lost 80 lbs):
1/2 Cup old fashioned/steel cut oats
1/2 Cup almond milk
1/2-1 Cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons peanut powder
Combine and leave in the fridge 8-36 hours. It will be creamy and filling.
Full of galactagogues, fiber, protein, healthy fat, and flavor. If I was in the mood, I added some good dark chocolate for some magnesium and antioxidants, some sliced banana, or some dried cranberries.
As a plus, if you are pregnant/nursing, there is evidence to suggest that this can provide microexposure to three common allergens (dairy, almond, peanut) to prevent severe allergies. This should be done with guidance from an allergist/immunologist in cases of severe familial allergies.

If I put steel cut oats in the fridge raw for 36 hours soaking in the above liquid it will be soft, or do I need to cook it? I have heard of overnight oats with old fashioned oats, but I want to know if the same concept works with steel cut oats.

The same concept. This is overnight oats. I make it two days at a time

Is there a way to do this with hot oatmeal? Cold oatmeal grosses me out.

I consider it medium healthy.
Only gluten free and organic oats.
Best if they’re soaked and or sprouted.
And because they’re so high in carbs, try to have it with plenty of fat and protein so as not to spike blood sugar.
I do this for my kids. They eat it with blueberries, cinnamon and a drop of maple syrup. Personally, for myself I stick to proteins and fats like eggs, avocado. I find that a half hour after eating oatmeal I’m hungry again.

Quick oats arnt less healthy than old fashioned. They just cut it finer so that it cooks faster. It doesn’t have any less nutrients
