Why you’ll love Roasting Oats in the oven

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.

      Hi Margaret, typically I keep mine anywhere from 3-5 days in the air tight container. Most days they do not even last this long though. Enjoy
