Frequently Asked Questions – Bob's Red Mill 25 lb. (11.34 kg) Steel Cut Oats
1. What are Bob's Red Mill Steel Cut Oats?
Bob's Red Mill Steel Cut Oats are whole oat groats that have been chopped into pieces rather than rolled or ground. This creates a hearty, chewy texture and a nutty flavor, making them a popular choice for oatmeal, baking, and savory recipes.
2. Are steel cut oats healthier than rolled oats?
Yes. Steel cut oats are considered one of the least processed forms of oats, meaning they retain more nutrients and provide a lower glycemic index compared to instant or quick oats. They are rich in dietary fiber, plant-based protein, vitamins, and minerals that support heart health and digestion.
3. How do you cook Bob's Red Mill Steel Cut Oats?
To prepare, bring 3 cups of water (or milk for creaminess) to a boil, stir in 1 cup of steel cut oats, reduce heat, and simmer for 20–30 minutes until the desired texture is reached. For overnight oats, soak them in liquid overnight to reduce cooking time.
4. Are these oats gluten-free?
Bob's Red Mill Steel Cut Oats are naturally gluten-free; however, unless specifically labeled as “Gluten-Free,” they may come into contact with gluten during processing. If you need certified gluten-free oats, look for Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free Steel Cut Oats.

Steel cut oats are rich in soluble fiber (beta-glucan), which has been shown to help lower cholesterol levels and support heart health. They also provide sustained energy and may help regulate blood sugar levels.
6. Can I use steel cut oats in baking?
Yes! While they are most commonly used for oatmeal, steel cut oats can be added to bread, muffins, granola bars, and casseroles for extra texture and nutrition. Some recipes may require soaking or partially cooking the oats before adding them to baked goods.
