Well, picky ol’ me likes rolled oats (and other healthy stuff like rye, barley and wheat). And rolled oats tastes better, at least to me, when it’s cooked over the stove. Granted you can microwave rolled oats as well, but it takes longer, and it might come out uneven. Anyway, I’m picky so there are some things that I just can’t explain. I just know that I like cooking rolled oats over the stove.

If you’re at this paragraph, then you’re still interested in my classic oatmeal recipe! You won’t be disappointed. My oatmeal turns out nicely with a bit of sweetness, thanks to the honey added in the recipe. (I’ve tried adding a pinch of salt in the past, but it’s just too salty to my liking.) I also especially love my oatmeal with dried cranberries and almond slices. Try it with whatever fruits or topping your dear heart desires.
