I’m sitting here eating these on Christmas morn. I’ve always liked oatmeal, including Scottish oats, but more as a vehicle for the brown sugar than for their own qualities. NO MORE. These may even stand on their own without the sugar. The toasting totally changed the character of the cereal.

Bettye – in the best place on the planet: East Bay, California. Our high today was 80. Next week we might see 90s!

Where ARE you, Paula?! Here in Texas, we have had multiple triple-digit days. We’re MELTING.

Kelli – although it’s mid-August, my husband contemplated starting a fire this morning. It was below 60 outside and he was freezing. I told him that we can’t have fires until at least October, no matter how cold it is.

Wow, these look delish. I love the idea of toasting the oats in butter. I’ve actually done something similar for a savoury oat dish but hadn’t really considered taking it back to porridge.

Oh my gosh! I love the idea for leftovers! Brilliant! I will have to try this next time I have scottish oats on hand!

Toasting the oats! Brilliant! Can’t wait for breakfast to try; this may have to be an afternoon snack!

As for leftovers, pour into a bread loaf pan. Let sit covered in your fridge, the slice off a hunk the next day. Lay on a baking sheet with a sprinkle of sugar, brown or otherwise til heated. Broil for a few seconds at the end. Serve with a dollop of greek yogurt!

Here are better directions from my friend Lynn:

OOH, nice! I’m trying to eat more oatmeal, but I need to eat more of the Scottish or Steel cut kind, rather than the normal old fashioned! Thanks for the inspiration!

I have never tried dividing it, but I hate cleaning dishes, so my general rule is make a full batch and eat it all week! Certainly beats making multiple small batches and washing dishes that many more times!
