How ¼ cup of steel-cut oats works out
One US cup of steel-cut oats weighs 176 grams, so multiply by 0.25 to get a quarter cup: 176 × 0.25 = 44 g. In the other direction, 44 g of steel-cut oats divided by 176 brings you back to ¼ cup.
If you have no scales, ¼ cup is 4 level tablespoons of steel-cut oats (12 teaspoons), because a US cup holds 16 tablespoons. In a 250 ml metric cup — the Australian, New Zealand and modern UK standard — the same fraction is 46.5 g.
