Everyone has eaten them before, the oatmeal. They are part of every muesli, used in baby food and are the best remedy for a sensitive stomach. Muesli fans in particular swear by roasted oatmeal, which gives the morning meal the necessary bite. The crispy ingredient can be quickly prepared in a pan on the stove.

Toasted oatmeal is a particularly delicious breakfast

Prepare toasted oatmeal

You will need rolled oats, oil or butter, honey or sugar, a coated pan and a mixing spoon.

  1. Place the pan on the stove and melt some oil or butter on a low heat.
  2. Add the oatmeal and turn up the heat a little.
  3. Brown the oatmeal, turning constantly. Otherwise, the flakes will burn quickly and become bitter.
  4. If you want to make caramel flakes, add some honey or sugar.
  5. Turning is now particularly important, the sugar allows the flakes to burn even faster.
  6. When the oatmeal is nicely browned and smells delicious, it's done.
  7. Transfer the roasted flakes to a plate or bowl to cool. Be careful when you taste it, the oatmeal is very hot.

The use of toasted oatmeal

The crispy flakes are initially suitable as a basis for a delicious muesli and become a valuable breakfast with natural yoghurt, raisins and fresh fruit. A tablespoonful of oatmeal in yoghurt makes a nutritious snack, and a handful of roasted caramel flakes replaces the sweet in between meals.

Roasted and caramelized rolled oats are also a delicious decoration for cakes. Instead of brittle, you can use the flakes to decorate a Frankfurt wreath. The sweetness of the flakes and their nutty aroma make the wreath your personal favourite.
