Basic Preparation Instructions for Quick Cooking Steel Cut Oats

Bob’s Red Mill Quick Cooking Steel Cut Oats are created much like our popular regular steel cut oats! We just cut them into smaller pieces on a specialized rotary granulator mill, so they’re ready to eat in 5–7 minutes instead of 15–20. With a fast cooking time, these high-quality oats are perfect for on-the-go mornings.  Our steel cut oatmeal has always been a favorite among our loyal Bob’s Red Mill friends and family. With a robust oat flavor and an excellent texture, this oatmeal makes for the perfect breakfast. Our steel cut oatmeal is also a product that is 100% whole grain.  For a delightful hot cereal you’ll love, combine our Quick Cooking Steel Cut Oats with 2 cups of water and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Bring your water to a boil, add your cereal and turn heat to medium-low. Cover and cook for 5–7 minutes, then remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 2 minutes. This feeds a hungry family of four and is a wholesome option for busy mornings! For those that prefer steel cut oats, microwave version, our Quick Cooking Steel Cut Oats offer the same convenience without compromising the texture! You can add butter and brown sugar, fruit, nuts or anything else you like. You can even top your steel cut oats with a fried egg for something unique and tasty! For a fantastic recipe that incorporates these wonderful little oats, try our Lemon Marmalade Oatmeal. This is the oatmeal dish that Bob himself prepared in Scotland when he brought home the 2016 Golden Spurtle Award. There’s no better way than to bring bright citrus tastes and cheer to your morning breakfast table than this oatmeal twist on a lemon tart! Whether you’re used to doing steel cut oats microwave style or standing over the stove, our Quick Cooking Steel Cut Oats will solve all your problems! The only tough thing to decide, will be how to enjoy them—sweet or savory? The options are endless.
