What to do with oats
Rolled oats are flattened whole-grain flakes that cook into warm, creamy oatmeal in about 5 minutes — or soak overnight in the fridge for a no-cook breakfast. They're one of the most versatile, budget-friendly whole grains in your bag.
Mild, toasty, and a little creamy — a blank canvas for fruit or spice.
Oats contain beta-glucan, a type of soluble fiber, and make a versatile whole-grain base for breakfast.
3 ways to use it
- 01Cook a quick bowl (easiest)
Simmer ½ cup oats with 1 cup water or milk for about 5 minutes, stirring, until creamy. Top with fruit, peanut butter, or cinnamon.
- 02Make overnight oats
Stir ½ cup oats with ½ cup milk and a spoon of yogurt in a jar, then refrigerate overnight. Grab and eat cold in the morning — no cooking.
- 03Add them to other foods
Stir a spoonful into yogurt or a smoothie, or use them in place of breadcrumbs to bind turkey meatballs.
Keep it fresh
- →Store in a sealed container in the pantry; they keep for months.
- →Use rolled oats (not steel-cut) for the quick 5-minute method.
