Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats Measuring FAQs
Can I substitute quick oats for rolled oats by weight? ▾
Yes, 90 grams of quick oats can replace 90 grams of rolled oats in most baking recipes, producing a slightly denser and more uniform crumb.
Why does a cup of rolled oats weigh so little? ▾
Whole oat groats that have been steamed and flattened into wide flakes create large, irregular air pockets inside a volume measuring cup.
