Simply the best tasting cereal ever made. Why post didn't market this cereal properly is a mystery. Post would make a bundle renaming the product and marketing the original recipe intact, and they would have a winner!

One of my favorite cereals ever was Toasted Oat Flakes, which I can't seem to find any evidence of. I seem to recall that it was by Post, so I'm wondering if they renamed it, or if I'm suffering some Mandela Effect. Anyone know for sure? What made the cereal so memorable to me is that when it was dry, it was as boring as Wheaties, but if you let it get soggy, it became amazing, so I'd pour the milk on and stir for a couple minutes before eating a spoonful.

Fortified Oat Flakes is my all-time favorite cereal! Oddly, it turned out to be my husband's all-time favorite as well, and we both loved Rice Krinkles when we were really young kids. I'm not sure, but I think that for a short time they once had two other versions - one with "freeze-dried" strawberries, & one with some other dried berry or fruit. Can anyone confirm or deny that? (I might be conflating some other cereal with Fortified Oat Flakes...). As another reviewer pointed out, there really WAS an addictive quality to Fortified Oat Flakes. I preferred FOF to sugary cereals too, and while I always left a fair amount of those in the bottom of my bowl, I scraped out every last bit when eating FOF! I bet people would love them today, with all the interest in oats & oat milk. Besides - though I cant describe the flavor, they really were DELICIOUS!

Definitely my all-time favorite cereal. After years of mourning, I was thrilled to see it again on the shelf around 1989-1990. I thought I was set for life from here on out. To boot, the store even had a generic brand which was pretty dang close -- close enough that if the real thing hadn't been available, I'd still have been pretty happy. I bought a few off the shelf, but didn't buy the whole shelf because I had no idea that that was the last time I'd see it. So... back to mourning.

A friend of mine described these as the crack cocaine of cereal. He said he would sit down with a box and an hour later, with a little milk dribbling down his chin, the box would be empty. I have to agree. This cereal was amazing.

This was the ONLY cereal ever I will ever love. No other cereal could ever have such a special place in my heart. When I was a kid I would eat this cereal over all the sugary kids cereals VOLUNTARILY! Now my heart is broken and my life will never be the same. Post, you are cruel and heartless. My life is incomplete because of you. Have some compassion. You have no feelings and no shame.

Loved this so much!! When I was little, on Saturdays I'd sit with my dad in the TV room and eat Oat Flakes, best part of my week! Loved them so much, tasty and not horribly sweet like many cereals now. I WOULD EAT THESE OAT FLAKES ALL THE TIME! Please please bring them back, made just the way they were back then.

I remember the very first time I ate Fortified Oat Flakes, when my late Father brought home a box for the very first time, sometime around Christmas of 1970 (I was 10). He bought the box for himself, allowing me to try a bowl. Much to his surprise (and chagrin), I wound up eating the entire box over the next couple of morning breakfasts!! It was the best tasting cereal I ever ate, PERIOD!! I loved it better than Trix, Lucky Charms, Frosted Flakes, or any other of the typical kid's cereals of the day. Nobody (even the Quaker Oats Company) is capable of making a cereal of so-called "Oat Flakes" that even comes close in flavor to what Post's tasted like. All "oat flake" cereals taste to me like Wheaties, or Total, that had been kept in an oatmeal box for about a month (and yes, I love Wheaties, and all wheat bran cereals). Please, Post Cereal Company, if you can read this, bring back this classic for all of us "classic folk" to enjoy, while hopefully making some new fans of it as well!!!!

I loved this cereal. I was often on my own for breakfast and lunch as a child (these days my mom would have been arrested for letting an 11 year old stay at home alone from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.!), and I would eat this for both meals - and sometimes as a snack, mid-afternoon or even before bed. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat, I really miss it. I don't eat any cereal these days, but I'd go for Fortified Oat Flakes!

I used to have a bowl of this cereal on the weekends with my grandfather. I loved how it made the milk in my cereal a creamy oat flavor. It was so, so good? Please bring it back. It's sure to be a top seller especially since people seem to be a lot more health conscious now. It's by far the best cereal I have ever had.

Update to my comments a few months ago about Special K Protein Original. Kellogg's has changed the recipe and it no longer brings back that Oat Flakes memory. It became so much worse in my opinion I won't buy it again.

This was the only cereal I would pick out at the grocery store, and I ate it until they stopped making it. Cereal isn't worth eating anymore, so I don't buy it or eat it. I would get it if they brought it back just as it used to be.

Being a total cereal lover, Fortified Oat Flakes is probably my all-time favorite! I can still taste it's unique flavor. Have tried many 'oat' cereals since, and none come close. Of all the cereals that have gone away, this is the one that I would love to see return. (But only if they used the same recipe that they used in 1970!)

I loved this cereal and I wish they would make it again. I think probably one reason it didn't survive: It tended to get soggy extremely fast. But that is actually something I liked. I hate that 'stays crunchy in milk' became such a fad with so many cereals. Anyway, I loved the taste, and have never found anything that quite compares.

I can't remember liking any cereal more than these oat flakes - including cooked cereal. They were very satisfying and tasted really wholesome. Their slight sweetness combined with their subtle toasty flavor - presumably from the natural oils in the germ or bran - made them irresistable. I've often cynically speculated that the reason I craved them so much was because Post surreptitiously added glutamate to them to excite my postsynaptic neurons. Maybe they stopped making them because they couldn't achieve the same flavor profile without it... wow, what a conspiracy theory.

My favorite cereal as a kid - had the malty goodness of hot oatmeal but was refreshing with milk. Unlike almost any other cereal in taste. Post has the 2 best discontinued cereals of all time - this and Maple Crunch Shreddies, which I had up in Canada on vacation and brought back 5 boxes. Sadly, I eventually ate that and it too is no longer available.

I too tried Annie's Oat Flakes and added two spoons of Malted Milk. It's the closest I've came to Fortified Oat flakes since it left the market. But if Fortified Oat Flakes came back I would buy about 50 boxes to make sure I didn't run out.

Loved Post Fortified Oats Cereal in the 70's and 80's. I would totally buy it again but - alas - it is no more. Today I picked up a box of Annie's Organic Frosted Oat Flakes. Not the same as Post - but probably about as close as we're going to find. It's crunchy and looks similar, but it is sweeter and lacks the malty undertones of Fortified Oats. It is good - just not as good.

I love all kinds of oat cereals the most, but there is no comparing them to Fortified Oat Flakes. I wish Post would bring them back without tampering with recipe, maybe they could sell it to Quaker to produce it. It was so full of oat flavor, not necessarily flavored taste. I can still remember the taste now. It's a craving all my adult life for this cereal. So glad I found this website.

Yes, ate this everyday! I contacted Post and they gave me the dear John speech. But I told them, "you try every combination under the sun, this with this, that with that, so why not try bringing back a retro cereal for all us boomers?!" They said something like their studies don't seem strong enough to warrant it. Yet, I have never known them to even try and sell them in test markets across the States! I also told them that there is no true, simple oat flake on the market, so why not try? There's wheat flakes, corn flakes in many different configurations, but with Honey Bunches of Oats, one can barely taste the oat! And aside from Trader Joe's Toasted Oat Flakes, which have honey and some other sweetener, there is nothing as a pure (Fortified too!) oat flake! Seems an ignorant business move!

Dear Post - None of your current cereals are as good as Fortified Oat Flakes were. The new 'improved' Post line up is lower in protein (8 gms per 55 gm serving) versus FOF's 6 gms per 28. As for all the fiber, I hate it. The high iron content in the new cereals are a good way to stroke out your older male customers... great thinking. The taste of FOF surpasses anything you now offer.

I miss Post Oat Flakes. I ate it in the 70s when I was in college. I saw it make a brief comeback in the mid 80s then disappear again. At that time it was often sold out at the supermarket so I would stock up whenever I found it in stock. Then it disappeared again and I haven't seen it since.

I've written to Post to bring it back but the response was basically that it didn't sell well enough. Maybe with websites like these, Post will realize that Oat Flakes may not be the most popular but the customers who like it would be loyal.

As I walk among the fall leaves, I dream of Fortified Oat Flakes cereal Post made when I grew up in the 70s. It was, like a leaf, lighter and thinner than Wheaties, and best of all just slightly sweet somewhat like the pre-sweetened organic wheat cereals I've tried in the 80s. But... NOTHING compares to it especially when it only needed a light dusting of sugar (gotta try that brown sugar suggestion!) to make it palatable to want to eat every breakfast-time and more fulfilling from the let-down sugared ones they have out there now. Come on, do we REALLY need a Reeses chocolate flavored cereal JUST to stuff more than one BRAND on a product as simple as CEREAL?!

I loved Fortified Oats as a kid in the 70's and kept eating it as an adult. By 1986, I could no longer find it in my local stores in California. My sister and I drove to the EXPO 86 World's Fair in Canada and I looked for it at independent markets I came across. I found a store in Seattle that had it. I bought every box they had in stock (about 30) and stuffed the car. Unfortunately, they also were no longer going to carry it and were selling their stock out.

The place we stayed at provided full breakfast but all I wanted to eat was my Fortified Oats. I demolished the first box but rationed the rest since I knew I would probably never find it again. So sad....

I thought that Post Oat Flakes had a really good taste. I have tried their 'Great Grains' product thinking it may be a decent replacement but it isn't that good so there's nothing from Post that I buy. I've pretty much given up on breakfast cereals now. They're either basically pure sugar or so bland (healthy?)that half the box gets thrown out do to lack of interest. Generally when a favorite food of mine disappears I don't buy anything else from that manufacturer because they have nothing as good. Same happened when Betty Crocker dropped the Date Mix. They make nothing else I want so they've become a "non-company" to me.

I drove a Post employee from the airport to the office. I asked about the return of PFO flakes. She said probably not. I can only speculate that this interest for it's return has been proposed, but for some reason, the cost of the process or ingredients today would not be profitable for Post. Always their bottom line first. Right?

Why do you keep penalizing this cereal? Exactly what does it mean "One vote per cereal per visitor each day please." If I vote 23 hours and 59 minutes after my last vote, does it get penalized? Or is it based on calendar days? If so, when is the day rollover, because it will be at a different time based on my time zone and your time zone. For example if you are in the Eastern Time Zone and I am in the Pacific Time Zone and I vote at 10pm Tuesday and 8pm Wednesday, then I have unknowingly violated your obscure voting rules by voting twice "in the same day" in the Eastern Time zone. Also, if I vote and my son votes on the same day, is that a violation because we use the same router, thus will appear as the same IP address? It is not fair to penalize this cereal when your web site allows a person to unknowingly vote more than "once per day". The cereal is awesome but your voting procedure is lousy.

Mr. Breakfast, I don't think that you should have penalized Fortified Oat Flakes for the rogue voter by penalizing it 100 votes. You took away the votes of people who had followed the rules. I would like to see the valid votes restored for FOF. Love this WEBSITE. Keep up the good work.

Mr. Breakfast. You need to be careful about punishing a cereal by taking away votes when someone has voted too many times or it in one day. What if the person did not like Fortified Oat Flakes being 4th on the all time favorites list? The easiest way to knock it down is to vote numerous times for it and then let you punish it by taking away hundreds of votes. Job accomplished and you did not know their original intentions.

I would rather pay more for this particular cereal and be satisfied as buy other cereals that are cheaper that I'm not content with. Please bring this cereal back.

This was my favorite cereal as a kid! I've looked for an oat flake like this for years and I have never found it. Please bring it back! If ever a pure oat flake would go over well, it's now - when everyone's trying to eat so heart healthy.

Post, in it's infinite wisdom, discontinued Fortified Oat Flakes just before the big Oat Cereal rage that started in the 80's. Now all we have are honey clusters of *&%#$. I can't stand hard chunks in my cereal. I've loved FOF since the 60's, and can still taste them. Bring them back - I'll buy a bunch of cases at once just in case.

Post Oat Flakes is the only cereal mom fed me and my 6 siblings in the 60's and 70's. It was the best cereal ever!! Please bring them back. I cannot find anything even kind of close!

Mr. Breakfast - please change the date that you have listed as to when Fortified Oat Flakes were introduced (you have 1970) based on the following:

Canner/Packer VOL 133, p289, 1964 "Fortified Oat Flakes, in 10 oz. compact packages, will be marketed under the slogan ....."

Food Engineering VOL 36,p26, 1964 "Two new Post Div cereals, Fortified Oat Flakes, a combination of oat, soy, and wheat flours is a ready-to-eat cereal said to be 'as nutritious as hot..."

Food Technology VOL 19,p52, 1965 "General Foods introduced over 50 new food items in 1964. Among these: Fortified Oat Flakes, Low-Calorie Italian Salad Dressing..."

I don't shop for groceries often, but every time I do, I look for Fortified Oat Flakes (or "Float Flakes" as I called them as a kid). I wanted to find them so much, I have finally looked them up on the internet and found this site. Considering how good they were, and healthy at the same time, I just can't believe they disappeared, or that they haven't been brought back. We need an all oat option besides oat meal. From what I can find, there isn't one available. I want my Float Flakes back. Post Cereals... please bring them back.

Post Oat flakes was my 2nd favorite cereal. There is no other cold oat cereal on the market now that is 100% oats. All the other oat cereals are mixed with other grains. My #1 cereal was called CONCENTRATE. Since both cereals have been discontinued, I don't eat cereal anymore.

It was a shame they took this one off the shelves. I don't think a company can duplicate the taste. It of course would be great if Post picked it up again. I really think that this cereal has a fan base to justify the investment.

Mr. Breakfast, your web page states that Fortified Oat Flakes were introduced in 1970. They were introduced several years before that. I am not sure of the exact time, but my best guess would be around 1961 to 1962. I remember at the time how disappointed I was that Post changed the recipe for Post Oat Flakes and brought out the new Fortified Oat Flakes, which tasted inferior to the original recipe.

Yes, there is a cereal better than Post Fortified Oat Flakes. It's the original recipe for Post Oat Flakes. Post tinkered with the recipe to make the cereal more crispy in milk, and sacrificed a lot of delicious flavor in return. However, Fortified Oat Flakes comes in at number 2 on my all time list of favorites.

This was a great cereal, one of the best. But here's a tip: If you haven't tasted Post Raisin Bran in a while, you're in for a surprise :). I'd bet anything Post is using a close variation on the FOF recipe for the bran flakes. Similar look, extremely close in taste and they even get soggy the same way!

This was a great tasting cereal. As a child, I added quite a bit of sugar to each bowl, but as I matured, I did not add any sugar because of the wonderful grain flavor not found in any other oat cereal.
