How many grams is 1 cup of rolled oats?

One US cup (240 ml) of rolled (old-fashioned) oats weighs approximately 90 grams. Because rolled oats are flat and irregular, they pack loosely and weigh significantly less per cup than steel-cut oats.

How many grams is 1 cup of quick oats?

One US cup of quick-cooking oats weighs approximately 89 grams — nearly the same as rolled oats because the thinner flakes pack to a similar density.

How many grams is 1 cup of steel-cut oats?

One US cup of steel-cut oats weighs approximately 160 grams. Steel-cut oats are dense, small pieces that pack tightly, so they are much heavier per cup than rolled or quick oats.

How many grams is 1 cup of oat flour?

One US cup of oat flour weighs approximately 120 grams when spooned and leveled. Sifted oat flour weighs slightly less, and scooped oat flour can weigh up to 140 grams, so weighing is always the most accurate method.

What is the difference between a US cup and a metric cup?

A US customary cup equals 240 ml, while an international metric cup equals 250 ml. The 4 ml difference is small but adds up in larger quantities. Most American recipes use the US cup; Australian and some European recipes use the 250 ml metric cup.

Can I substitute oat flour for rolled oats by weight?

Not directly. Oat flour is finely ground and behaves like a flour, while rolled oats retain their flake texture. They are not interchangeable in most recipes. Always use the oat form the recipe specifies and weigh each separately.
