rolled oats

Flattened breakfast grain

Rolled oats are oat grains that have been steamed and flattened between rollers, making them cook faster than whole oats.

They're the standard form for oatmeal and appear in baked goods, granola, and muesli: Add a cup of rolled oats to the cookie dough.

Old-fashioned oats and quick oats are both rolled oats, differing only in thickness.
