Oats are one of my storage must-havees. Satisfying oatmeal and very fast is a reliable breakfast and sometimes even a lunch or dinner. I love a hearty bowl of oatmeal with sautéed green, a soft cooked egg and much hot sauce.

You would think that something as simple as oatmeal could not be improved, but there is a step that I can never skip that gives it a flare without additional ingredients: Roast the oats.
How to toast oats on oatmeal
Similar to English muffins or pop types, oats are simply better roasted, which gives them an incredibly rich, nutty taste. This technology does not differ as the toast of rice for Arroz Con Pollo, which produces the natural smaring of the grains.

2 more tips for increasing the taste of your oatmeal
Toast your oat is an easy way to give your oatmeal more taste. Here are two other tricks that I use:
- Add a pinch of salt. There is a good chance that you will season your oat with salt, but if not, I can only recommend it. Salt helps to emphasize this roasted grain taste and can also compensate for all sweet mix-ins.
- Roast your oat with butter. I learned this tip from my friend Lauren Miyashiro and it is a goalkeeper. Adding a butter -stroke – via a tablespoon per cup of oats – an even richer, silky bowl of oatmeal with a hint of creamy sweetness. Try it out and you will never go back.
