Partly on behalf of a family member, they want to know which type (cut / process) of oats are healthiest in terms of GI index.
On my part what is the best nutritionally. I eat 100g uncooked weight morning and another 50/100g in the evening everyday pretty much.
I don't snack on anything else really as calorie wise I tend to fit it in during the 3 meals.
Want to try steel cut oats myself as they taste nuttier?

All oats - - instant, rolled or old fashioned and steel cut - - are the same in terms of nutritional value.
They are just processed differently which changes the taste/texture of the oats when cooked and alters the time required to cook them.
I prefer the taste/texture of steel cut, which takes the longest to cook, over instant and rolled/old fashioned which taste mushy to me but I'll cook instant when I'm camping or just in a hurry.2 -
I prefer the taste/texture of steel cut, but I don't think the nutritional value is going to be meaningfully different.0

Steelcut is slightly better in terms of gi but obviously they are the same nutritionally0

Just a thought. Look at oat bran. Consistency is different, nutrients a little different. Might be good for a small change occasionally.

Regular oats, not instant or those containing extra sugar etc.0

FYI the make 3 minute steel cut oats now for all steel cut fans. It’s been a lifesaver.0
