Toasted Oats

Submitted by Cristy

Ingredients:

rolled oats
light olive oil
salt

Directions:
Toss oatmeal with olive oil so that it is very lightly coated. You should barely be able to see the oil. You don't want to saturate the oats.

Salt to taste, then toast slowly on low heat (250 degrees). Lightly toss again every 15-20 minutes until it feels like a tender granola.

Comments:
I love oatmeal with brown sugar and raisins but I needed to lose weight. I wanted the benefits of oatmeal without the drawbacks of sugar. I was very pleased to discover that toasted oatmeal has a crackery taste. Have it with fruit and/or nuts, add it to vegetable stew to thicken, or my favorite which is to toss a hand full in your mouth to fill you up until dinner. Since it is a whole grain, it is also a healthy substitute in any recipe that calls for bread crumbs.
