What it is
Brüggen Avena Rolled Oats are whole grain oats that have been steamed and flattened into flakes. This processing method helps them cook more quickly than steel-cut oats.

How people cook with it
These rolled oats are a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of ways, from simple breakfasts to more complex baked goods.
- Breakfast porridge
- Baked goods
- Granola
- Savory dishes
To prepare a simple bowl of oatmeal, combine one part rolled oats with two parts liquid, such as water or milk, in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats reach your desired consistency. You can also add them to baked goods like cookies and muffins to add texture and a wholesome flavor. For granola, they are typically mixed with sweeteners, nuts, and seeds, then baked until golden brown.
How it differs from similar foods
Rolled oats cook faster than steel-cut oats because they are steamed and flattened, which breaks down the oat groats. They also have a softer texture compared to steel-cut oats, which retain more of their original shape and have a chewier bite. Instant oats are typically pre-cooked and dried, making them the quickest to prepare.

How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any unused portion of the rolled oats in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This will help prevent them from absorbing moisture or odors from the surrounding environment. Properly stored, they can last for a considerable amount of time.
