3 teaspoons of steel cut oats weighs 10.00 g. This is based on steel cut oats having a density of 160g per cup. Because teaspoons measure volume and grams measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 3 teaspoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 3 teaspoons of steel cut oats
