If there is one thing that you can always find in my kitchen, it's oatmeal. I had this strange fridge-free period in my life that lasted for almost a year, during which I learned to buy everything fresh and in small quantities. But, in every crisis situation, oats were immensely helpful. Of course oats are perfect for a morning porridge, but they can also be a fast snack, a sweet treat, or something more substantial — even my lunches include them from time to time. Oats are the base for some truly delicious recipes, plus they're not dependent on the seasons: Keep them on hand and experiment with adding seasonal ingredients all year long. From muesli to granola to savory porridge with poached eggs, I'm going to show five of my favorite — and most creative — ways to use oats.
