Bob's Red Mill Quick Cooking Steel Cut Oats
What it is
These are steel-cut oats that have been processed to cook more quickly than traditional steel-cut oats. They are made from whole groats of oats that have been cut into smaller pieces. This processing allows them to absorb liquid and soften faster while still retaining a pleasant texture. They are a good source of whole grains and are suitable for a plant-based diet.
How people cook with it
Quick cooking steel-cut oats are a versatile breakfast staple. They can be prepared simply on the stovetop or in the microwave.
- Hearty breakfast bowls
- Baked oatmeal dishes
- Savory porridge
- Oatmeal cookies
To prepare, combine the oats with your preferred liquid, such as water or milk, in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the oats reach your desired consistency. This usually takes about 5 to 10 minutes. You can also cook them in the microwave by combining the oats and liquid in a microwave-safe bowl and cooking on high power for a few minutes, stirring halfway through. Adjust liquid for a thicker or thinner result.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike rolled oats, which are flattened, or traditional steel-cut oats, which are cut into larger pieces, these quick-cooking steel-cut oats offer a balance. They provide a chewier texture than rolled oats but cook significantly faster than their larger steel-cut counterparts.
Who it is for
Anyone looking for a wholesome and quick breakfast option can enjoy these oats.
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. Proper storage helps preserve their texture and flavor for future use.
