Quick Oats
Quick oats weigh 90g per cup, the same as rolled oats. They are simply rolled oats cut into smaller pieces, so they cook in 1-2 minutes. In baking, quick oats and rolled oats can be swapped 1:1 by volume, but quick oats produce a softer, less textured result. For oatmeal cookies with more chew, stick with rolled oats. Quick oats dissolve more readily into batters, which can be useful for binding. Store in a sealed container for up to a year.

03 // WHY IT MATTERS
If your cookies spread, your bread is gummy, or your cake sinks — flour weight is usually why.
A scooped cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 125g to 180g. That's a 44% range — enough to wreck a cake.
Modern recipes use the spoon-and-level method: fluff the flour, spoon it into a dry measuring cup without packing, then sweep flat with a knife.
The scoop method — pushing the cup directly into the bag — packs in 40-50% more flour.
