Bob's Red Mill Scottish Oatmeal
What it is
This is a package of Scottish oatmeal from Bob's Red Mill. It is made from whole grain oats that have been cut into smaller pieces. The oats are steel-cut, which means they are cut with sharp blades. This process results in a hearty texture and a rich flavor. The oats are a good source of whole grains and provide a satisfying breakfast option. The package contains 36 grams of oats, suitable for a single serving.
How people cook with it
Scottish oatmeal is a versatile grain that can be enjoyed in many ways. It is a staple for breakfast and can also be incorporated into other dishes.
- Hearty breakfast porridge
- Savory grain bowls
- Baked goods ingredient
- Overnight oats base
To prepare, combine the Scottish oatmeal with water or milk in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer. Stir occasionally until the oats reach your desired consistency. This typically takes about 15 to 20 minutes. You can adjust the liquid amount for a thicker or thinner porridge. Once cooked, serve hot with your favorite toppings such as fruit, nuts, or a drizzle of honey. It can also be used as a base for overnight oats by soaking it in liquid in the refrigerator.
How it differs from similar foods
Scottish oatmeal is distinct from rolled oats or instant oats due to its steel-cut preparation. This method results in a chewier texture and a more robust oat flavor. Unlike rolled oats, which are steamed and flattened, or instant oats, which are pre-cooked and dried, Scottish oats retain more of their original grain integrity, offering a more substantial bite.

How to keep the rest
Store any unused portion of the Scottish oatmeal in its original packaging or an airtight container. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. This will help maintain its freshness and prevent it from going stale. Proper storage ensures the oats remain suitable for future use.
