Steel Cut Oats

Do You KnowYour Oats? While all of our oats begin as whole grain kernels known as groats, the end result can look quite different. We take these groats and create varieties for every palate and recipe, while retaining all the fiber and nutrition of the whole grain. Many of our products are also available in organic and gluten free options.

Bob’s Red Mill’s award-winning Steel Cut Oats are made with whole grain oat groats that have been cut into small pieces on a steel burr mill. A good source of fiber that offers up to 5 grams of protein per serving, steel cut oatmeal makes a delightfully full- bodied hot cereal that is sure to satisfy. Usage: Top your bowl of hot steel cut oatmeal with classic additions like butter, brown sugar or maple syrup, or think "outside the bowl" and go with savory toppings like a fried egg and sriracha hot sauce.

Extra Thick Rolled Oats

Extra Thick Rolled Oats are delightfully chewy, producing a satisfying European- style breakfast. Usage: Extra Thick Rolled Oats are delightful in side dishes and create a hearty bowl of oatmeal. They offer additional texture to baked goods like bars and muffins.

Old Fashioned Rolled Oats

Old Fashioned Rolled Oats are a classic choice for hot cereal and baked goods. This variety cooks up in about 10 minutes, with a chewy texture and wholesome flavor. Usage: Old Fashioned Rolled Oats are a great option for oatmeal, particularly for those who like a more grain-forward option. They are also great for making homemade oat milk or oat flour!

Instant + Quick Cooking Rolled Oats

Our Instant Rolled Oats are rolled incredibly thin so they’re ready in minutes, without sacrificing any of the flavor or nutrition of the whole grain oats. Bob’s Red Mill also offers Quick Cooking Rolled Oats that are ready in about 5 minutes. Usage: Instant Rolled Oats and Quick Cooking Rolled Oats are a quick, convenient oatmeal option, and are delicious either savory or sweet, particularly for those who eat oatmeal on a daily basis!

Psst! Need something perfect for on-the- go? Try our Instant Oatmeal Packets or Gluten Free and Organic Oatmeal Cups for breakfast in a breeze.

Homemade Oat Milk Make delicious dairy-free milk at home with just two simple ingredients: water and rolled oats! This smooth, creamy milk is ideal for smoothies, cereal and in your morning coffee. Double straining ensures a smooth texture, but this recipe can also be made by straining through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth alone. NOTES • To make a sweeter milk add in maple syrup and a pinch of salt for balance. • To make a creamier milk, reduce water to 3 ½ cups. • Take care not to over blend, as this will result in a more viscous/starchy liquid. INGREDIENTS 4 cups filtered Water 1 cup Bob’s Red Mill®️ Gluten Free Old Fashioned Rolled Oats Optional ¼ tsp Kosher Salt 2 Tbsp Maple Syrup INSTRUCTIONS • Combine water and oats in a high-powered blender. • Blend on high for 30–45 seconds. • Pour through fine mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth.
