Rolled oats measurement conversions

Recipes switch between volume (cups, tablespoons and teaspoons) and weight (grams) all the time, and for rolled oats the two aren't interchangeable — you have to know the density. Rolled oats has a density of about 0.41 g/ml, which means:

• 1 cup of rolled oats ≈ 98.4 g
• 1 dl of rolled oats ≈ 41 g
• 1 tablespoon of rolled oats ≈ 6.15 g
• 1 teaspoon of rolled oats ≈ 2.05 g

Measuring tip. Rolled oats are light and airy, so a cup weighs much less than a cup of flour. Don't press them down when measuring.
