Toasting Oats - by gregscsu
Place oats on a cookie sheet in a thin layer. Toast at 325°F for 15-60 minutes turning every 5-10 minutes until desired level of toasting is acquired.
Place toasted oats in a brown paper bag and let rest for 2-14 days, allowing volatile chemicals and burnt smells/flavors to dissipate.
- Untoasted oats have no toasted flavor.
- Golden toasted oats have a nice biscuit/cracker flavor, tasting almost exactly like saltines (sans salt).
- Darker toasted oats have a distinct biscuit/cracker flavor. Not quite a burnt flavor.
Place toasted oats in a brown paper bag and let rest for 2-14 days, allowing volatile chemicals and burnt smells/flavors to dissipate.
