Signature Select Quick Steel Cut Oats
What it is
This is a package of quick-cooking steel cut oats. Steel cut oats are made from whole oat groats that have been chopped into two or three pieces. This process results in a heartier texture compared to rolled oats. The "quick" aspect means they are processed to cook faster than traditional steel cut oats, making them a convenient option for busy mornings. They are a pantry staple for many households.
How people cook with it
These oats are a versatile base for breakfast bowls and can be incorporated into various baked goods.
- Breakfast bowls
- Baked oatmeal
- Savory porridges
- 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 until the oats reach your desired consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. You can also prepare them in the microwave for an even faster meal. Once cooked, they are ready to be customized with your favorite toppings like fruit, nuts, or sweeteners.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional steel cut oats which require a longer cooking time, these quick-cooking oats have been processed to reduce their cooking duration. They offer a slightly softer texture than traditional steel cut oats but retain more of the whole grain chewiness than rolled oats.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store the remaining oats in a cool, dry place. Ensure the package is sealed tightly to maintain freshness and prevent moisture absorption. This will help keep the oats from going stale and preserve their texture for future use.
