Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 10 ounces of steel cut oats
- Convert ounces to grams: 10 × 28.35 = 283.50g
- 1 cup of steel cut oats = 160g
- 283.50g ÷ 160g/cup = 1.77 cups × 16 = 28.35 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
