Measuring 50g 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, 50 Grams (50g) translates to 0.59 US cups (½ cup + 1 tbsp + 1 ¼ tsp).
Without a kitchen scale, measure ½ cup + 1 tbsp + 1 ¼ tsp (9.41 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.
