What it is
These are whole grain oats that have been steamed and then rolled flat. The oats are a good source of complex carbohydrates and are a staple for many breakfast routines. They offer a hearty texture and a mild, nutty flavor that pairs well with various additions.
How people cook with it
Rolled oats are a versatile ingredient, commonly used for breakfast and in baking. They can be prepared quickly on the stovetop or in the microwave.
- Hearty breakfast porridge
- Overnight oats
- Baked goods like cookies
- Granola and muesli
To prepare a simple bowl of oatmeal, combine one part oats with two parts liquid, such as water or plant-based milk, in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats reach your desired consistency. Alternatively, you can microwave them for a quicker preparation. They can also be soaked overnight in liquid for a no-cook option. For baking, they add texture and substance to muffins, breads, and bars.
How it differs from similar foods
These rolled oats differ from steel-cut oats in their preparation and texture. Rolled oats are steamed and flattened, resulting in a quicker cooking time and a creamier texture. Steel-cut oats are chopped oat groats and require a longer cooking time, yielding a chewier, more distinct texture.
How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store the remaining oats in their original packaging or an airtight container. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Properly stored, they will retain their quality for an extended period.
