Cinnamon Toasted Oats - Whisking Mama

These Cinnamon Toasted Oats engulf your home with an aroma of pure bliss!

There’s something special about the smell of vanilla and cinnamon baking in the oven. The perfume of oats toasting in the oven is warming to the soul. Personally I’m a huge believer that smell can impact the mind and trigger happy memories, I’m no scientist, but I’m pretty sure there is science to back that up. So, I’ll take that and run with it, baking delicious smelling foods for my family when ever possible. Making huge batches of these Cinnamon Toasted Oats, during the cold start of fall mornings, could not be a more simplistic way to bring happiness into your home.

I love to make double batches of the cinnamon toasted oats and use through out the week for parfaits, breakfast cereal and my homemade Cranberry Granola Treats. Seriously, this makes the best breakfast cereal, simply add some fresh blueberries or chunks of dark chocolate with a splash of milk. Don’t wait get out your baking pans and get baking this recipe for a delicious smelling home and grain.

May I just point out one thing from this picture above… It was taken on the day of the eclipse. I can not get over how ironic this picture with the jar lid and lighting are, perfectly symbolic of the day it was taken. Pretty awesome to look at and be memorized all over again.
