| Crunchy Oats |
This was the week! I've been planning on making a batch of
Crunchy Oats for about a month, now. Those tasty little additions of oats & wheat germ that pack a lot of flavor & fiber to my daily yogurt. I like to sprinkle about 2 teaspoons on top of my plain yogurt & then add a little
Freezer Jam. Sometimes, you see this treat sold along with single serving yogurt containers. It's easy to add them in & enjoy the yogurt. It's even better when you make a batch to eat whenever you want.
This is an "easy to prep" kind of treat! Place all the ingredients in a bowl & combine thoroughly. Then, in a large skillet over
Medium heat, cook & also *
stir constantly.
Cook for 5- 6 Minutes. Place on a large pan to cool. It's that easy!
Crunchy Oats are stored in the fridge. It's great to have a batch to enjoy! They taste so good on top of cold cereal, too!
*Mixture will burn if it is not constantly stirred!

1/3 Cup Wheat Germ
1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon Nutmeg
1/3 Cup Olive Oil
for baking & sauteing
1/3 Cup Honey
Method:
- Combine Oats & Wheat Germ in a bowl.
- Add Cinnamon & Nutmeg, combine.

- Then add Honey, again combine well. Mixture is very sticky.
- Place mixture in large skillet.
- Over Medium Heat cook while constantly stirring.
- Cook for 5- 6 Minutes.
- Then place Crunchy Oats on cookie pan to cool.
- After cooling, place in air tight container & store in fridge.
After placing in the air tight container, I shake the container to break up any large clumps. They store well for 3 months in the fridge. My container will be empty before 3 months passes. :) This is a great tasty add in!
Enjoy!
Yummy!
