Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.25 teaspoons of steel cut oats
- 1 teaspoon of steel cut oats = 3.33g
- 0.25 × 3.33 = 0.83g
- Convert grams to ounces: 0.83 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.03 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Oats come in multiple forms (rolled, steel-cut, instant) that have different densities. Steel-cut oats are nearly twice as heavy per cup as rolled oats.
