It never occurred to me to pan fry the oats! It looks different and yummy 

Eva, a small amount of oil in a nonstick pan works so well to give a huge flavor boost, and the texture is really nice too! 😁  

Thanks! I’ll give it a try  

Toasted oats are such a good idea. Looks like a great breakfast. 

Oh wow! I'll have to try that Melissa! Looks great! 

hmm. this is new to me. looks awesome.  

Sounds yummy and healthful. 

Yum! 

Hmmm...I had some in the microwave. Yours look better! 😉I need to try that. 

Did you say pan fried oats??? Well damn. Must buy some and try 

That sounds interesting & so tasty. I'll have to try cooking it that way. 

The little bit of extra time to toast the oats first is so worth it to give great texture. Also, the few more calories from 1.5 tsp oil or less, makes the oats so much more flavorful! After the oats are starting to brown up, I stir in the spices and then the boiling water and the cut up apples. I don't know it putting the spices into the dry, hot oats for a bit makes them any nicer, but gosh it smells good!!! 😁  

Sounds delish, melissh ❣️😋😋 

that looks delicious 

Sounds very delicious. Need to try your recipe. I usually do the microwave cooking and then the spices. Yours sounds better! 

Looks yummy! 

Sounds amazing, Melissa!! I need to try pan frying my oats. 

I prepared my oats today following your recipe, Melissa. They are delicious! 

Looks and sounds delicious and will definitely try it when I buy some oats again. 

I am so happy others want to try or have already tried this simple change to the good old oat! 😁 Eva, I saw yours on your journal!!! Yay! My sister-in-law exposed our family to this little trick. My kids always call it "apple oatmeal." As if the apples make the difference! 🍎😊 Somehow it does seem using apples has become a requirement for this breakfast, as I can't remember a single time I've made it without! ❤️
