How Much Is 0.9 Ounces of Steel Cut Oats in Cups?
0.9 ounces of steel cut oats equals 0.16 cups. That's 25.51g, and Steel cut oats has a density of 160g per cup. Because ounces measure weight and cups measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.9 ounces of steel cut oats
- Convert ounces to grams: 0.9 × 28.35 = 25.51g
- 1 cup of steel cut oats = 160g
- 25.51g ÷ 160g/cup = 0.16 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Uncooked and cooked grains have completely different weights per cup. These conversions are for uncooked/dry grains unless specified otherwise.

Understanding the Units
What is an Ounce?
An ounce (oz) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 28.3495 grams or 1/16 of a pound. In cooking, "ounces" refers to weight (avoirdupois ounces), not fluid ounces which measure volume.
What is a Cup?
In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.
