Quick oats or Old Fashioned oats for baked goods??

[Isis1]

Which type of oats do you usually use for baking cookies or other baked goods?
I always use quick oats, but I have a muffin recipe where its listing old fashioned oats as one of the ingredients. In the directions, the oats have to sit in a liquid for an hour before its added to the rest of the ingredients.
Do any of you think that quick oats would be ok to use? Thats all I have in the house and I don't want to go to the store.
Thanks for any input!

Thanks for the advice everyone!
I ended up using the quick oats and the muffins turned out good. I did let them soak for about 5 minutes while I put the dry ingredients together.
I'll post the muffin recipe along with the other ones that I've tried whenever I have time.
Thanks again!
