Sure, you can make a warm bowl of oatmeal with milk and honey. That’s the classic, and it’s lovely. But once you realize rolled oats are a blank canvas, the fun begins.
Crush them up in a blender and you have instant oat flour for pancakes or cookies. No trip to the store needed. I once made banana pancakes for a picky five-year-old, and she ate three. Victory.
