Oatmeal (oatmeal, rolled oats) is an affordable and very healthy product, from which, in addition to porridges, you can prepare many other dishes. This includes all kinds of baked goods, casseroles, desserts, etc.
Recipes often indicate the required amount of oatmeal in grams. What to do if you don’t have a kitchen scale? In this case, teaspoons and tablespoons will come to our aid. You will learn how much oatmeal fits in a spoon, and then how to use these spoons to measure the required weight of this cereal.
First of all, it is worth noting that when cooked, cereals usually increase in mass by at least 3 times (depending on how much water was poured). Therefore, for more or less accuracy, we will measure only dry oatmeal.
Hercules, oatmeal, oatmeal flakes - these are all names of the same product. Therefore, in the article these names will alternate with each other.

Oatmeal or rolled oats?
The easiest way to measure 100 grams of oatmeal is with tablespoons. They are always at hand. So, 100 grams of oatmeal is how many spoons?
Oatmeal is also different, so we have prepared what you need to measure with spoons:
- dry oatmeal;
- dry oat flakes.
And, of course, a tablespoon.
So, we have 100 grams of oatmeal and 100 grams of dry oat flakes in separate containers. Carefully scoop them out and pour them into another container with a tablespoon. But spoons come with a slide and without a slide. Let's try both options.
Dry product in level tablespoons
The second option is without a slide. Let's see, 100 grams of oatmeal is how many tablespoons.
Hint: it is more convenient to level the level of the spoon using a knife. Scoop up the cereal and use a knife blade to run along the edges, “cutting off” the excess. The spoon will be filled exactly to the brim.
So, let's start the process. We scoop it up, remove the excess with a knife, pour it over. And so on until the containers are empty. At the same time, we carefully keep count of our spoons.
What happened in the end? Containers with 100 grams of our initial dry content are equal to:
- 8 tbsp. spoons of dry cereal;
- 9 tbsp. spoons of dry oatmeal.
But maybe you shouldn’t bother with these tablespoons every morning, with or without a slide? Maybe to save time, let's cook oatmeal for the whole week? And when it’s ready, let’s measure 100 grams of oatmeal into a plate, wash it down with a cup of coffee and run about our business? Do you agree? Then we move on to measurement.
Calorie content of oatmeal porridge
The calorie content of dry oatmeal is quite different from porridge that was boiled in water. Thus, 100 grams of cooked cereal is 88 calories.
Some manufacturers have come up with instant oatmeal porridge, to which various dried fruits and berries are added. If you pour boiling water over such porridge and then eat it, your body will receive 350 Kcal. But if you are watching your figure, then it is better to refuse such porridge.
The calorie content of dry oatmeal is also quite different from porridge cooked in water. It has a little more calories than cooked in water. It is 105 Kcal per 100 grams of finished product.
It is thanks to this porridge that your body is saturated with complex carbohydrates. They help process glucose. If you add various dried fruits to porridge cooked with milk, then it will contain much more useful substances. During the season, the addition of berries and fruits, which contain a lot of useful substances, is welcome.
Calorie content of rolled oats on water
Not only its nutritional and energy value, but also the benefits for your body will depend on the method of preparing oatmeal. For example, you can cook lean porridge in water without butter or sugar. In this case, 100 g of ready-made oatmeal will contain approximately 80-90 kcal. If such a simple porridge does not seem tasty and appetizing to you, add sugar and butter to it. Of course, the dish will become more calorie-rich from the addition of these products.
“Hercules” with water (the calorie content of the finished dish will not be as high as when using milk) always turns out very tasty!
Calorie content of rolled oat flakes in water with honey per 100 grams
You can sweeten the porridge with honey. It is a natural and very useful product. Hercules porridge with a spoon of honey contains 120-135 kcal. (14 g will be carbohydrates, 3 g protein, 1 g fat).
Be sure to read: Table of calorie content of different flours: choosing the most dietary flour for weight loss
In order for honey not to lose its value, it must be placed in a slightly cooled mass. If you add a handful of dried fruits to the dish, the energy content will double. The more additives there are, the less dietary value the porridge has.
