Let’s face it. Not many of us wake up craving a bowl of ordinary oatmeal. In its solo state, it can look a bit unappetizing at the best of times, but especially so in the early hours of the day.

If you’re trying to be healthy, you know that oatmeal is a health-giving breakfast food, but does it have to be so dull? No, it certainly doesn’t.

We’ve come up with one clever hack that will have you drooling at the thought of oatmeal for breakfast, and it doesn’t take a gazillion ingredients or hours of slaving over a hot stove.

The secret to taking your oats to a whole other level is to toast it in butter. For one cup of steel-cut or old-fashioned oats, melt one tablespoon of butter in a small pan. When melted, throw in the oats and stir.

Cook until the nutty, toasted flavor of the nuts arises, stirring occasionally, then set aside. Bring your usual milk or water to a simmer, add the toasted oats, and cook it the way you like it. Voila! Delicious butter-toasted oats in a matter of minutes.
