Steel-Cut Oats Measuring FAQs

Why do steel-cut oats weigh nearly double rolled oats per cup? ▾

Steel-cut oats are dense chopped whole kernels without the expansive air pockets inherent to flattened, rolled oat flakes.

Can I bake with raw steel-cut oats directly in cookies? ▾

No, raw steel-cut oats remain hard and tooth-breaking in quick-baking recipes unless soaked overnight or simmered first.
