Whoops, looks like a long-expired coupon! Thanks for letting us know.
How long can you keep cooked steel-cut oats in the fridge? I heard oats can go rancid due to high fat content. Do you need to keep the opened bag of uncooked oats in the fridge?
Hi Min! Our oats are low in fat. You can keep cooked oats in the fridge for 3–4 days.
Hi there, a long time steel cut oatmeal eater & loving it. This time I noticed two types of steel cut oatmeal packets kept in different isles. One labeled as gluten free in GF isle. The nutritional information has the same in both packages, except a higher price. What are the gluten free SC oatmeal?
Hi there! Our gluten free oats are specially farmed, processed and packaged to avoid cross contamination with gluten.
Our oats do not contain nuts. :)
Do you have information about the glycemic index of your:
1) quick steel cut oats
2) regular steel cut oats
3) regular rolled oats?
Thank you!
Hi Tim - Our Customer Service team may be able to assist you further. Reach them at customerservice@bobsredmill.com
Hi - a 1/4 cup (44 g) serving contains 1 gram soluble and 4 grams insoluble fiber.
You don't need to stand over the stove or use an instant pot to cook steel cut oats at all.
The night before you want them, boil whatever amount of water you are going to use and add the required amount of steel cut oats.
Bring to the boil again, turn off stovetop, cover and remove from heat.
Your steel cut oats will be fully cooked and ready to heat and eat in the morning. You may want to add a little water or milk before heating*
Is this still safe to do if cooked with half milk & half water? This would make my life so much easier! I make large batches to keep in the fridge (since we have 4 diabetics in the house) because once refrigerated, it turns to “resistant starch” and hardly affects our blood sugar at all!
Hi - In our family we have someone newly diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. I wish carb information could be provided for your products when cooked (assuming directions are followed as you provide them on the bag). We eat as a family and it's tricky to figure out how much carbs are in one person's meal when the only information about carbs is based on the dry ingredients.
Love your produces. For medical reasons.ASAPs,need to know how much calcium is in ORGANIC QUICK COOKING STEEL CUT OATS. ASAP please. Thank you!
Hi Diane, there are 11mg of Calcium per 1/4 cup (36 g) unprepared Organic Quick Cooking Steel Cut Oats.
Thank you for all of the info. Does your organic steel cut oats quick cook have less fiber and protein than your regular steel cut oats? Trying to compare online and I keep seeing different fiber and protein on those 2 products. Thank you
Due to the fact that our products are agricultural products, the nutritional profile does change from time to time. We continue to test each batch to insure that our customers are getting correct information so there will be variations when looking at the packaging. We hope this helps you understand why there may be a difference from time to time.
Is the 170 calories for 1/4 uncooked? When I looked this product up in my calorie tracker app, it said 170 calories for 1/2 cup.
Hi Rob - Yes, the nutritional value is based on the uncooked/unprepared serving.
hi , i am looking for all the nutritional values, things like calcium, potassium, magnesium etc.
Hi Mary Ann - you can find that on our website. Just click on Nutritional Information & Ingredients.
Bob's Red Mill: Organic Steel Cut Oats
I love Bob's Organic Steel Cut Oats. My latest recipe is making a cup of them following the instructions on the package and then adding the following:
- 1/2 tsp. Turmeric
- 1 tsp. Cinnamon
- a splash of vanilla extract
- a quick drizzle of olive oil
After the oats are cooked, I add either fresh berries and walnuts OR dried cranberries and walnuts. The are delicious warm or cold!!
Does cooking steel-cut oats for 40 minutes instead of the recommended 20 minutes reduce the amount of fiber per serving? Thank you.
Hi Anie - No, additional cooking time will only affect the texture.
Do I need to look for “100% whole grain” in the package, or are all steel cut oats whole grain?
Hi Kevin, all of our Steel Cut Oats are Whole Grain! :)
Love both the steel cut oats and rolled oats. I pressure cook the steel cut oats in multicooker (aka insta pot), which is delicious and fast. From America’s Test Kitchen Multicooker Cookbook: STEEL-CUT OATMEAL
serves 8
pressure cook total time
45 minutes
slow cook total time
2 hours 15 minutes
why this recipe works We love the chewy texture and fuller flavor of steel-cut oats, but careful monitoring for 40 minutes of stovetop simmering makes them a nonstarter on busy mornings. The multicooker made the process mostly hands-off and guaranteed creamy, hearty steel-cut oatmeal. We first toasted the oats in butter using the sauté function, which brought out their nutty flavor and took only a couple of minutes. Then, we locked on the lid and let the oats pressure or slow cook to tenderness. A bit of salt added to the cooking liquid seasoned them nicely. At the end of cooking, the oats were perfectly chewy, but our oatmeal was on the thin side, and much too hot to eat. Letting the oatmeal sit for 10 minutes before serving solved both problems: The porridge thickened to a pleasantly thick consistency as it cooled. This oatmeal reheats well, so we could easily serve it again later in the week. Serve with your favorite toppings such as brown sugar, butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, dried fruit, and nuts.

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups steel-cut oats
6 cups water, plus extra as needed
1 teaspoon salt
1 Using highest sauté or browning function, melt butter in multicooker. Add oats and cook, stirring constantly, until golden and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in water and salt.

Turn off multicooker and let pressure release naturally for 15 minutes. Quick-release any remaining pressure, then carefully remove lid, allowing steam to escape away from you.
Happy New Year! I'm weaning myself from sugar slowly. Please tell me how many grams of sugar in the 31 grams of carbohydrates listed in one serving of steel cut oats. This figure will help me measure my sugar intake. Thanks very much, Maggie
Hi Maggie, you can find the full nutritional panel (including sugars and added sugars) on our website. In a single 44 gram serving of Steel Cut Oats there are 31 grams of carbohydrates and 1 gram of sugar.
Bob's Red Mill: Steel Cut Oats
Hi there,
Can you tell me if steel cut oats contain any Vitamin A? Or carotenoids such he as leutine or zeaxanthin?
Thank you
Josh
Hi Josh, our Customer Service team is happy to help with this request and will follow up directly.
Hi Rachel - that really just depends on your body's particular needs. A serving of our Organic Steel Cut Oats has 3.5 grams of fat, 170 calories, 31 grams of carbohydrates, 4 grams of fiber, and 4 grams of protein. I'd suggest speaking with your doctor or nutritionist to determine whether or not oats are a good fit.
for weight loss - but health - i cook 1/4 cup steel cut oats in 2.5 cups water.
Keep in fridge- this gives me 4 servings, so carbs now 7 and I factor that into my daily carb allowance.
Why has the protein count in your steel cut owns dropped from 7 to 4?
And why have the amount of carbohydrates increased and the amount of fiber decreased?
Are you using different oats?
Hi Pat - as an agricultural product, sometimes the nutritional values change. We keep our labels up to date with the most current nutritional information we have available. We do this because it's important to us and it's important to our customers. If you have more questions please contact our Customer Service team at 1-800-349-2173 or customerservice@bobsredmill.com
Hi Nancy, our nutritional information is all based on the dry uncooked product.
Hi Cynthia, we don't test the cooked product for the nutritional analysis but rather the dry uncooked product. One dry uncooked serving of Organic Steel Cut Oats is 1/4 cup or 44 grams has 4 grams of protein. If you only add water, the final nutrition would remain the same. If you add other ingredients (milk, sugar, fruits, nuts) the nutrition will change.
I understand the nutrients in a quarter cup dry are the same as a quarter cup cooked if they’re cooked in water, however your packaging says four servings is 1 c oats to 3 cups water. When cooked that equates to 3 cups of oatmeal. 4 servings = 3/4 cups per serving not 1/4. Please explain. Thank you.
Hi Campbell! The serving size is based on the dry measure. So 1 cup of dry oats equals four 1/4 cup servings. Hope that helps!
How much is 1/4 dry oats cooked?
What are the nutritional facts for one cup COOKED steal cut oats? I think this should be on a FAQ page on this site. It's a popular question from people that are trying to log their food or be mindful of their portions. I think a cooked cup is a healthy serving that will keep most full until lunch. And its easy to track and divide the nutritional facts if needed for different amounts.
Hi Rebecca! We don't have specific information on the cooked product, because it can vary from person to person, depending on how they measure out the product, how much liquid they add, how long they cook it, etc. However, all of the nutritional information for our uncooked oats are on the package!
Hi Jodi - there are 149 mg of phosphorus per serving (44 grams/1/4 cup) in our Organic Steel Cut Oats.
Hi Kerri! The cooked volume can vary; it depends on any other ingredients you use and the amount of water added and water evaporation. Roughly the oats double in size but the best way to test would be to cook 1/4 of a cup your normal way then measure the cooked volume.
Is there a nutritional difference between your regular steel cut oats verses your quick cook steel cut oats
Hi Deane - no, just a difference in how they are cut; Quick Cooking Steel Cut Oats are cut into smaller pieces which equals a quicker cooking time. Enjoy!
Hi Sam! Steel Cut Oats are known to generally have a lower glycemic index number as it takes longer for your body to break it down. Unfortunately we do not test our specific products for glycemic index and do not have rating available.
How does the nutritional content of quick-cooking steel cut oats rank? Just below steel cut?
Hi Camille - the nutritional profile is very similar. The only difference is that Quick Cooking Steel Cut Oats are milled to a smaller particle size. Smaller size = faster cooking time. There are no other differences between the two :)
Wonderfully informative article! To those having an Instant Pot pressure cooker mix two parts liquid to one part steel cut oats and pressure cook on high for 4 minutes natural release, no muss, no fuss. Milk will burn, unsweetened almond milk will not. Make a bunch - they freeze well.
Thanks, Leo! This is a super helpful tip!
Bob's Red Mill products are all fantastic! Thank you! My question is, why are some oats soaked the night before cooking/eating and some not? Thank you for your time!
Hi Margaret, soaking overnight just shortens the cook time. Since the oats have already absorbed all the liquid, they cook quickly and evenly.
CAN YOU REDUCE THE POTASSIUM LEVELS OF STEEL CUT OATMEAL BY LEACHING BEFORE COOKING?
Thanks
Pete
Hi Pete, unfortunately we don't have any information about that.
Disturbing facts about glyphosate in steel cut oats we have been eating! Do you need a disclaimer on package? Can you explain.
Hi Barbara, here at Bob's Red Mill, quality and safety are fundamental to our mission to make the world a healthier place with whole grain foods. Our products have always met and exceeded all regulatory safety standards based on scientific research, and we are continuously striving to deliver the highest quality products. We’re committed to working with our farmers to end the use of glyphosate in the cultivation of all oats used in Bob’s Red Mill products.
We vet the farmers who supply our raw grains and other ingredients carefully to ensure each meets our high standards for quality. For those who are looking for different options, we have a full line of products certified organic by the USDA. The use of glyphosate is absolutely forbidden in the cultivation and processing of organic oats.
The article says that steel cut oats have a healthy amount of magnesium, but magnesium doesn't show up on the nutrition label. (At least for your quick cooking steel cut oats.) How come? Thanks.
Hi Mike! They are a good source of magnesium, but there isn't always room on the labels to list everything or it's not expected per FDA nutrition panel regulations. There is 61mg of magnesium in one serving (44 grams or 1/4 cup uncooked) of our Steel Cut Oats.
Hi. Same with the B vitamins as not listed. What is the content in the 1/4 C uncooked serving?
Yes! Every single product from Bob's Red Mill is Non-GMO :)
Reading all of this compelled me to give you thanks for the work you are doing here. Thank you to all of Bob's Red Mill Family.
Rest in peace Bob. ❤
Where does oat bran fit into these options?
