I've said it before here, and things haven't changed much, oatmeal is not my favorite. I've had oatmeal for breakfast the past week. I'm starting to get a little tired of the blueberry oatmeal I've been making, so I turned to my good friend, the Internet, to find other ways to eat oatmeal. I found a recipe that claims to be the best toasted oatmeal. Follow the link below to find the recipe. I cut the fat in half by only using a bit of butter and a bit of olive oil equaling about a half tablespoon.
The original recipe for the best toasted oat meal
I had no problem finishing this oatmeal. The texture and the flavor are not so pasty. Next time I make this, and there will be a next time, I will toast my oats a little less. I thought it tasted good, almost like popcorn, but my children thought it tasted a little burned. And after they said that, I could tell what they were talking about, although the oats didn't burn, they didn't need to toast as long. I waited until I could smell them. Next time I'll just look for a color change.
I served the toasted oatmeal with a splash of milk and a drizzle of organic maple syrup. YUM! the only downside to this recipe is it takes about 15 minutes to make and I'm used to spending 2 minutes or less preparing breakfast. Oh well. I guess sometimes sacrifices must be made for the greater good... food.
