Should you use steel-cut oats or rolled oats for Ninja Foodi Oatmeal?

Both steel-cut oats and rolled oats (old fashioned oats) are equally delicious. What’s the difference though? If you want more mushy oatmeal that is already flat and soft, then go with rolled oats.

If you prefer a more crisp texture, the steel-cut oats are the way to go. These also have a nutty flavor.

The big difference though with both is in how you cook them when making Ninja Foodi Oatmeal. If you go with steel-cut, the cooking time will be 6 minutes, whereas it’s 3 minutes with rolled oats.

This is easy to make gluten-free with a swap of oats. If you plan to make this gluten-free use gluten-free rolled oats or gluten-free steel-cut oats.

It’s a simple swap of oats and you will be able to easily make this gluten-free.
