things people ask

• How many grams in a tablespoon of oats?
  About 7 g for a level tablespoon of old-fashioned rolled oats. Quick oats run slightly less, around 6 g, because the flakes are smaller and don't bridge across the spoon the same way. For a streusel topping that calls for 4 tablespoons of oats, you're working with roughly 28 g — close enough to the weight of one instant oatmeal packet.
• Can I thicken a smoothie with oats by the tablespoon?
  Yes, and 2-3 tablespoons (14-21 g) is the typical range. Blended raw, rolled oats add body and a mild creaminess without the chalkiness you get from a full quarter cup. Quick oats blend smoother because they hydrate faster in cold liquid; steel-cut won't break down in a standard blender and will leave gritty bits.
• How much oats goes into a streusel topping?
  Most fruit-crumble streusels use 1/4 to 1/2 cup of oats, but if you're scaling down for a single ramekin, 2-3 tablespoons (14-21 g) of rolled oats mixed with a tablespoon each of flour, brown sugar, and butter covers it. The oats give the topping a chewy edge that pure flour-and-butter crumbles lack.
