Measuring 30g of Quick-Cooking Oats in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of quick-cooking oats weighs 85g when measured dip and sweep, 30 Grams (30g) translates to 0.35 US cups (⅓ cup + 1 tsp).
Without a kitchen scale, measure ⅓ cup + 1 tsp (5.65 tablespoons total) using dip and sweep technique. Scoop lightly into a dry measuring cup and sweep level without compacting. Because quick oats are cut into smaller pieces before rolling, their finer geometry yields approximately 85 grams per cup.
