Steel Cut, Old-Fashioned, Quick and Extra-Thick Oats Compared

The right oat depends on the texture, preparation time, and recipe you have in mind. Great River Milling offers several cuts and thicknesses for breakfast, baking, and food-service use.

Steel cut oats

Organic Steel Cut Oats have a hearty, chewy texture and are ideal for a substantial bowl of oatmeal.

Old-fashioned rolled oats

Organic Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats balance texture and versatility for oatmeal, granola, cookies, and baking.

Quick cooking oats

Organic Quick Cooking Rolled Oats soften more quickly for convenient breakfasts and recipes where a finer oat texture is useful.

Extra-thick rolled oats

Organic Extra Thick Rolled Oats retain more chew and structure in hot cereal, granola, and selected baked goods.
