Kinds of oats

Steel cut oats

These are coarsely cut groats with a sharp steel blade. If you look at the nutritional profile on the pack of a steel cut oats, it is the same as the whole groats. The cook time of this is slightly lesser than the whole groats as they are cut.

Whole oat groats

These are hulled oat kernels meaning the outermost layer that is inedible is removed from the whole grain oats. These are chewy and go great in salads, slow cooked stews and pilafs.

The cooking time of oat groats is quite long as much as 50 to 60 mins apart from the soaking time. These need a good overnight soak before cooking. If you try to cook these without soaking then they take much longer.

These are easier to cook in a pressure cooker or in a instant pot.

Scottish oatmeal

The whole groats are stone ground to coarse meal, great to make porridge and stews. Cooking time is about 15 to 20 mins.

I use these to make chicken oats soup or lentil oats soup.

Regular or Rolled oats

These are made similar to the Indian Poha. They are steamed and then rolled to flatten them. So they can be eaten as such without cooking. They also cook quite fast. It is always good to use these organic since we do not rinse them and are consumed directly.

rolled oats

Quick cook oatmeal

These are steamed for longer and pressed more to make them flakes than the previous kind. You can find on the pack of quick oats that the nutritional profile is almost the same as the rolled variety.

instant oats

The best kind of oats to use are the whole groats or steel cut oats as they are least processed and keep us full for longer. The next choice should be rolled variety.

Quick cook or instant variety are more processed and is almost similar to any processed food and is good to avoid them.

Making a bowl of oatmeal is the easiest and can be made within 10 minutes with zero monitoring.

But most of us may not prefer to eat a porridge regularly. Here are 32 healthy easy oats recipes that we have been enjoying at home for years now.
