Loved this cereal. With the resurgence of oats as a health food and the way it is being added to so many products, mostly bread, seems like a no-brainer for a resurrection!

I loved and MISS Post Oat Flakes so much. I ate Post Oat Flakes from a kid growing up in the 60's to an adult until they stopped selling them in my area in the 90's. When I couldn't find them on my store shelf anymore, I asked the store. They said I could special order them so I did - by the case. Post needs to bring these back! PLEASE!

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.

The BEST cereal ever was POST OAT FLAKES. Dang, I could live on those things. It tasted great when the flakes were dry and crisp. But the real magic happened when the milk made them soggy. If they ever invent a Star Trek food replicator, my first request will be 10 bowls of the stuff plus a gallon of pre-antibiotic/hormone laced milk! I can almost taste it now!

I remember the original Post FORTIFIED Oat Flakes. Google that name, go to images, and you can see the original box design with a sketch of a farmer harvesting in the field at the bottom. This was a superior (by far) product, and my favorite cereal. Post did discontinue the product, but it seems they did bring it back in the 1990s before discontinuing it again. I didn't think the 90s version was as good as the original - which Post needs to bring back.

This cereal was the best ever. It wouldn't stay crunchy for long but that was never a problem. It seems like we could bring it back if we organized. I have been hearing the wail of boomers crying out for oat flakes for a long time. If Post can't do it maybe we can. If you are interested write to me at oceanobello(at)gmail(dot)com and put 'oat flakes revival' in the subject line.

I began eating Oat Flakes at age 5. It's my favorite all time cereal. I came across 3 boxes at a dented can place in Apple Valley California in 1980. Sent my mom a box of it.

I was hoping that the net would steer me to wherever this cereal might still be available.

My folks would buy this by the case because I ate a box for breakfast every morning. And I was only about 110 lbs soaking wet! But this was my all time favorite cereal! I don't eat cereal anymore. I've tried all kinds of others (and I loved cereal as a kid) but after I found this, I never ate anything else. And once I couldn't find this anymore, I stopped eating breakfast (occasional eggs, hash browns, sausage patties, and toast now but not very often). I still check the cereal aisles every time I'm in the stores hoping to find some kind of just plain oat flakes.

I have rarely found a cereal that tasted as good as Fortified Oat Flakes. As a youngster, I grew up eating that cereal and it was approved by my mother who was a Registered Nurse. She always feed Dad and I healthy foods. I was eating cereal this morning and had a flashback to the flavor of Oat Flakes. By the looks of it, others are missing the flavor too. By the way, I also miss Schlitz Malt Liquor!

I would like to see Post bring back Oat Flakes. As a youngster it was the only nutritious cereal I would eat. I have always had trouble keeping on weight and at 5'8" I need to be at least 120 pounds to look my best. As a young adult I had no trouble maintaining with a couple bowls of cereal, one for breakfast and one before bed, but I never found another cereal I liked enough to eat as often and my weight is now down around 110. I have no taste for anything any sweeter, it was just perfect. I do miss it.

I loved Oats Flakes. In the 1970's I would eat them more than once a day. I loved them so much that it came a time mt mom would start to hide to box of Oat Flakes in order to have some left for during the week until the next grocery shopping. Unfortunately, I believe they don't sell Oats Flakes any longer (at least I no longer find it in the grocery store). I really wish they would market Post Oat Flakes again.

Here is a quote from the Oct 25,1961 Toledo Blade: "NEW FOOD PRODUCTS: The first flake cereal made with oats is announced by General Foods and is labeled Post Oat Flakes". This mention of Post Oat Flakes is nearly 2 years later than the Dec 3,1959 advertisement in the newspaper 'THE DAY' which mentions Post Oat Flakes. Please put Post Oat Flakes on the time line.

Thanks so much for this information Oat Flake Lover. Super helpful. I really appreciate the input.

The original Post Oat Flakes was by far the best tasting cereal ever. In the mid 1960's, Post tinkered with the recipe to get
a product that would not get soggy in milk, calling it Fortified Oat Flakes. These were good, but far inferior in taste to the original recipe. Post Oat Flakes with cream were really good.
