Oats – Steel Cut, Old Fashion or Instant? Do you know the Difference?

November 19, 2014 By Patty Limatola-Tanenbaum Leave a Comment

I was always taught by my mother to know my ingredients when it came to cooking as that would give me the success I needed in creating a great dish.  What do you know about oats?   When you are making at a recipe and it calls for old fashion oats and you only have instant oats do you use what you have or do you run to the market to buy what the recipe calls for?  Do you understand the difference between the oats so you understand how it will impact your recipe?

There is no recipe attached to this post but I wanted to share a little bit of information about the differences of the oats and my experience of them.

Steel Cut Oats

All oats start out as oak groats and steel cut oats are whole oats that have been chopped into small pieces before steaming, they are not rolled out or toasted.  When using to make oatmeal they will take longer to cook by 12-15 minutes, you can soak them in water or milk to reduce the cooking time and then use the milk or water to cook them in.  I have found that for oatmeal, they taste a bit nuttier and I tend to use steel cut oats more in baking then for oatmeal because of the extra time it takes to cook for oatmeal and I would never use them in a granola recipe.

Old Fashion Oats

Old fashion or “rolled oats” are oak groats that have been steamed and then rolled under heavy rollers before they are  lightly toasted (baked).  The old fashion oats are more commonly used for making oatmeal as they take less time to cook, they have a flakier texture then the steel cut oats, old fashion oats are not as nutty as the steel cut oats.  I use old fashion oats for oatmeal, granola bars and for baking.

Instant Oats

The instant oats are oak goats that are steamed and rolled out just like the old fashioned oats but the instant oats are rolled out even thinner so.  Instant oaks are broken down into much smaller pieces then the old fashion oats so the texture is completely different.   Instant oats cook in about a minute making them a great solution for someone who is on the go and wants oatmeal and because they start off as smaller pieces, they cook up creamier.  I use instant oats in my oatmeal on the go, muesli and in baking cookies.

Here is a photo of the three types of oats to give you a visual.

Again, knowing your ingredients from texture to taste can alter a recipe substantially.  Using steel-cut oats in my muesli would not work as the instant oats create the creamy texture that is needed  for muesli.  Likewise if I used instant oats for my granola bars that would not work as I need the texture of the old fashioned oats.  However, when I make oatmeal cookies, I do use a variety of all three oats as I like the texture and slight complexity it creates.

100 Calorie Oatmeal and Banana Muffin Recipe

July 19, 2013 By Patty Limatola-Tanenbaum 6 Comments

Oatmeal Banana Muffins | MmGood.com

100 calories for an oatmeal and banana muffin?  That’s right, you heard it right, only 100 calories per oatmeal and banana muffin (according to my program)…how could you go wrong with that?  You see, I love my baked oatmeal casserole recipe and so I thought “how can I make a healthier option that everyone will want to eat?”…then it hit me, most people use applesauce instead of oil so maybe I could try that.  Until I went to the refrigerator and well, I didn’t have applesauce…but I always have bananas so I thought “why not try it” out and boy am I glad that I did.

Baked Oatmeal…great for breakfast!

March 20, 2013 By Patty Limatola-Tanenbaum 2 Comments

I’ve been on an emotional journey lately and I’ll leave it at that….I did plan on blogging about this dish and I knew when my dear friend Tanya came over for breakfast last Friday to catch up that I’d make this amazing casserole.  I know Tanya’s favorite breakfast (as well as my daughters) is this oatmeal bake so what a better gift to make a friend their favorite meal….

Oatmeal Sandwiches ~ Great for Breakfast or a Snack

May 23, 2012 By Patty Limatola-Tanenbaum Leave a Comment

So I’m one of those patients that sit in the doctors waiting room, I look through the magazines and then of course I’m going to find me a great recipe that I just have to try.  So, I end up asking the receptionist to print me a copy of a page…of course these days I pull out my cell phone and just take a photo.  Well, this recipe is one of those kind of recipes.

My son was home ill from school today so I thought what a perfect day to bake him some healthy (yes healthy) cookies.  The recipe said that they are really meant to be eaten for breakfast but we think they can be eaten any time of the day.  I did modify the original recipe by omitting 1/2 cup of raisins and I added a few more things to the mix.  If you like raisins…then add em…we are not fans of raisins.

You basically grate your carrots

In a large bowl, add your oil, brown sugar, white sugar and egg. Mix until it’s well blended. Add your dry ingredients

IMG_0465

add your oatmeal, carrots and coconut flakes. Mix just until it’s all blended

IMG_0466

spoon onto your prepared baking sheets

IMG_0467

bake for 10-12 minutes

IMG_0470

while it’s baking you make your filling

and you make little sandwiches out of them.  These cookies, wrapped and in the refrigerator, will last up to 3 days.

Yummy Oatmeal Sandwiches

Ingredients

    For the Cookie:
  • 1 cup All purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon Pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 cup Canola oil
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 cup Old fashion oatmeal (not instant)
  • 1 cup Carrots, shredded
  • 1/4 cup Coconut, shredded
  • For the filling:
  • 6 ounces Cream cheese, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons Maple syrup (or slightly more if desired)

Directions

    For the Cookies -
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Sift your flour, baking powder, baking soda and pumpkin pie spice together. Add your salt to this mix and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, add your oil, brown sugar, white sugar and egg. Mix until it's well blended. Add your dry ingredients, oatmeal, carrots and coconut flakes. Mix just until it's all blended.
  4. Drop your dough, by tablespoons, onto the lined baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges of the cookies begin to brown. Remove from your oven and let cool.
  5. For the Filling:
  6. In a small bowl, mix your cream cheese with your maple syrup.
  7. To Assemble:
  8. After your cookies have cooled down (if they are too hot the filling will melt so make sure to wait until the cookies are cooled), spread about 1 tablespoon of the filling on the flat side of the cookie, top with the remaining cookie and enjoy!
  9. According to my program - if you are not using the cream and only eating the cookie as an individual cookie (the batch makes 24 cookies or 12 sandwiches)...each cookie is the following:
  10. Calories - 62
  11. Total Fat - .46g
  12. Cholesterol - 8mg
  13. Sodium - 68 mg
  14. Total Carb - 13.32g
