Bob's Red Mill Rolled Oats
What it is
These are whole grain oats that have been steamed and then rolled flat. This process makes them cook more evenly and quickly than steel-cut oats. They are a versatile pantry staple, providing a hearty base for many breakfast dishes and baked goods. The oats retain their natural goodness and offer a satisfying texture.

- Granola base
- Baked goods
- Savory dishes
To prepare a simple bowl of oatmeal, combine a portion of rolled oats with water or milk in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the oats reach your desired consistency. You can also soak them overnight for a quicker morning preparation. They are excellent when added to cookie dough, muffins, or quick breads, providing a chewy texture and wholesome flavor. For a savory twist, they can be used as a binder in veggie burgers or as a topping for casseroles.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to steel-cut oats, rolled oats have a softer texture and cook much faster due to their flattened shape. Instant oats, while even quicker to prepare, are often more processed and can result in a mushier final product. These rolled oats offer a good balance of texture and convenience.

How to keep the rest
