Oat Bran: Stone-Ground for Quick Hot Cereal and Baking
- Stone-ground from oat groats — milled from the outer bran layer rather than the whole rolled oat
- Naturally high in soluble fiber — including beta-glucan, a fiber type naturally found in oats
- Cooks in 2 to 3 minutes — a faster hot cereal than steel cut or rolled oats
- Baking add-in — blends into muffins, breads, and pancakes for extra fiber and a mild nutty flavor
- No added sugar or preservatives — just stone-ground oat bran, nothing else on the label
- Pack options — Single and Pack of 3 18 oz bags
How to Use
Bring 2 cups of water or milk to a boil, stir in 1/3 cup of oat bran, and simmer 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until thickened. Top with fruit, nuts, or cinnamon. For baking, swap in oat bran for 20 to 30 percent of the flour in a muffin, pancake, or bread recipe and add a little extra liquid. Store the bag in a cool, dry pantry.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Bob's Red Mill Oat Bran contain allergens?
Bob's Red Mill Oat Bran is processed in a facility that also handles wheat, tree nuts, and soy, and this standard version is not certified gluten free. Anyone with a wheat, gluten, nut, or soy allergy should read the printed ingredient and allergen panel on the bag before eating, since facility notices can be updated between production runs.
How should I store Bob's Red Mill Oat Bran?
Keep the bag sealed in a cool, dry pantry away from direct sunlight and moisture. Once opened, reseal it tightly or transfer the contents to an airtight container to keep it fresh, and use within the best-by window printed on the package.
What is the difference between oat bran and regular oatmeal?
Oat bran is milled from just the outer bran layer of the oat groat, so it is more concentrated in soluble fiber and cooks in about 2 to 3 minutes, faster than rolled or steel cut oats, which use the whole groat. Oat bran has a finer texture and a more intense, nutty flavor than regular rolled oats.
Where is Bob's Red Mill Oat Bran made?
Bob's Red Mill stone-grinds this oat bran at its facility in Milwaukie, Oregon, using the same traditional milling method the company has run since 1978. This standard oat bran is processed in a shared facility that also handles wheat, so shoppers who need a gluten-free option should check Bob's Red Mill's certified gluten-free product line instead.
