These quick oats make the best oatmeal! The texture is super smooth and tasty. Perfect for a hearty warm breakfast. They cook quickly in hot water. For breakfast i add boiling water, some raspberry, chocolate chip, coconut chip, a little bit of maple sirop and a touch of milk and that keeps me full and it tastes good. I also made oatmeal cookies and they were delicious, it really tasted like my childhood oatmeal! The price is a bit higher then regular oats but this brand is certified gluten free so for celiacs its the only way they can eat oats. And the quality makes up for the price.

As someone who’s used to microwavable oatmeal, Bob’s Red Mill organic steel cut oats were a welcomed change. While these pinhead oats are definitely more labor intensive, they are very much worth the extra effort. Plus, you can always make a big batch and refrigerate the leftovers so you can eat them throughout the week. The flavor of these Irish oats was far richer and nuttier, allowing for a delightfully scrumptious breakfast. I also loved that these oats were chewier in texture than rolled oats. For those of you who like an added rich nuttiness to your oatmeal, I highly recommend toasting the oats in a little butter or oil before cooking. Personally, I paired my steel cut oatmeal with a blueberry compote for an added kick of flavor, but with an endless variety of ... MoreAs someone who’s used to microwavable oatmeal, Bob’s Red Mill organic steel cut oats were a welcomed change.

Personally, I paired my steel cut oatmeal with a blueberry compote for an added kick of flavor, but with an endless variety of toppings like fruits, nuts and even honey, these oats are always highly customizable. Overall, these organic whole grain steel cut oats are not only healthier than your average microwavable oatmeal but taste exceptionally better. If you’re looking for a healthier oatmeal option, I highly recommend Bob’s Red Mill steel oats, since they always provide a healthy, tasty, and simple oatmeal that can be trusted.

Please be advised that this oatmeal costs $14 a bag. I had a free coupon so that is the only reason why I purchased it. If you follow the instructions on the bag, you will notice that it does take over twenty minutes to cook. I followed the instructions perfectly and I noticed that the oatmeal was still very hard. I had to cook it for an additional five minutes, and in addition also had to add more water/milk to make it creamier. I did enjoy that this oatmeal is hearty and fills you up much more than regular oatmeal. You can see from the photos how yummy the whole grains look. It is very expensive but very delicious!

Excellent! Whole grains quality oats! Great for bowels and heathy!

Love oats and so far those available at the supermarkets here are not of top quality whole grains. Most contain gluten and added sugar. So if you are looking for whole grains, this is the go to. For years i use to only eat oats as daily breakfast and it helps with bowel movements. But the moment i stopped, i can see the difference. In addition, oats are also great as savory porridge and can also be added to your morning smoothies or yoghurt. Cooked the oats with half milk and half water n pinch of salt. The taste is so natural whole foods, and immediately you can taste and see the difference vs store bought mass brands. For sure i will buy this again. If you are health conscious buy the best organic whole grains you can! If you like this pls gimme a thumbs up.

Healthy and easy breakfast for the whole family

This is a great breakfast item for the whole family! For us the recommended serving is too much, so we cut it down to 1/8 cup per person and used the oat to water ratio recommended at the back of the package (1:3), though you can add more water if you want your oatmeal to be creamier. It is easy to make and quite convenient if you have a rice cooker. You can just add in everything an hour or so before eating and let the rice cooker do the work for you (I do that the moment I wake up, so that it will be ready by the time we seat down for breakfast). You can make your oatmeal sweet or savoury, it tastes great both ways and is a much healthier alternative to other kinds of carbs like bread, potatoes or rice. Our favourite is adding one sliced banana, as well as dashes ... MoreThis is a great breakfast item for the whole family!

For her it also helped with digestive issues, even though I heard it makes it worse in some people.

IT JUST DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS!

This is the King of all oats. The texture is firm and full of flavor. No wimpy mushy oats here! Just a nice clean palet to enjoy plain or with flavorings or fruit. I like mine with dried cranberries (careful these have added sugar) for a little change and it gets a refreshing pink cast. I cook mine in the microwave 1/2 cup of the Golden Spurtle, a pinch of salt and two cups of hot water. Into the microwave for 10 minutes. Then I stir in another cup of hot water and cook for another 15 to 20 minutes until they are just right. Let them sit and cool because they are blazing hot. I stir in 25 drops of liquid sucralose (on the sweet side) and whatever other flavorings (I like maple flavoring) and you have the perfect meal for anytime. The lower Glycemic Index of the ... MoreThis is the King of all oats. The texture is firm and full of flavor. No wimpy mushy oats here!

The lower Glycemic Index of the steel cut oats makes it fit in nicely with my lower sugar intake. I have tried Quick cooking steel cut oats and they do not compare to the rich nutty flavor of these bad boys. Thanks Bob's!

Love these steel cut oats!

I eat a mostly plant based diet and these steel cut oats are a breakfast staple during my busy work week. The 1.53kg bag lasts a long time and the resealable feature is super convenient to keep the oats fresh. I usually put 1/2 cup steel cut oats in my mini rice cooker I have in my office with a handful of goji berries and 1-1/2 cups water. Pop it on the rice setting and when it's done I serve it up with a bit of coconut cream and top with a spoon full of chia seeds and chopped hazelnuts. Super fast, easy, and delicious with minimal effort. And because steel cut oats have a lower glycemic index than rolled oats they wont spike your blood sugar levels after eating, and leave you feeling fuller longer.

Tastes great, but impossible to cook efficiently!

While I love the flavor and consistency of these steel cut oats, I have yet to find a sustainable way to cook them! 1) No combination of microwave cooking time and power settings I've tried to date cooks them through without boiling over. 2) An Instant Pot works, but takes a long time, and requires too large of a thermal mass (the IP's steel apparatus plus water below the cooking vessel plus the vessel itself) to be a responsible use of electricity. 3) My induction cook top is congenitally incapable of keeping a double boiler at a steady low simmer, so it, too, either fails to cook the oats or makes the water below the double boiler constantly boil over. My remaining option is to use a low efficiency electric coil under the double boiler, which works fine but, like ... MoreWhile I love the flavor and consistency of these steel cut oats, I have yet to find a sustainable way to cook them! 1) No combination of microwave cooking time and power settings I've tried to date cooks them through without boiling over. 2) An Instant Pot works, but takes a long time, and requires too large of a thermal mass (the IP's steel apparatus plus water below the cooking vessel plus the vessel itself) to be a responsible use of electricity. 3) My induction cook top is congenitally incapable of keeping a double boiler at a steady low simmer, so it, too, either fails to cook the oats or makes the water below the double boiler constantly boil over. My remaining option is to use a low efficiency electric coil under the double boiler, which works fine but, like the IP, consumes a lot of power that is never transferred to the cooked product. Note that these issues arise with water; I prefer to cook my oats in milk which makes the boil over mess in the microwave etc. even worse. Each time I make these oats I use gallons of water to clean up the messes, plus time. Back in th day my Glaswegian grandfather (or, more likely, his mother or wife) just cooked regular oat meal over a stove because energy efficiency wasn't a huge concern, and standing at the stove constantly stirring was part of life. I guess if I didn't have a job and other things to do for 30 minutes at a stretch, I could do the same . . .

Used to be Good--Product Has Gone Downhill Fast

Regularly love these oats—they’re dense, chunky, caramel in color, and you can feel each individual oat as a flake when cooked. This most recent batch that I got from Target, however (and unfortunately,) is not the same. The strength of each oat is mushy, the overall texture of my oatmeal—once springy and durable—now is a pile of creamy blah that I could’ve gotten for much less money through any other brand. I’ve been preparing it the same throughout and, even prior to preparation, there’s a color and textural difference as can be seen in my photo (you can see the difference between my last batch of Bob’s Red Mill Organic (and Gluten-Free) Old Fashioned Rolled Oats. I paid for the fancier oats and expected the difference that I’ve been loving for the last several ... MoreRegularly love these oats—they’re dense, chunky, caramel in color, and you can feel each individual oat as a flake when cooked.

I’m definitely a dissatisfied customer and hope the future of this product is not going the way of this most recent squishy batch that I recently received (and for which has a shelf life of 16 more months from today.)
