Oatmeal, a sweet trend for diners and restaurant profits

Oatmeal, a sweet trend for diners and restaurant profits

Only the Washington Post can sexify oatmeal. I like to keep a few packets of cinnamon or maple flavored in my desk for the 3 pm crash. Some brands have loaded their grains with almost 10 grams of fiber. This stuff is cheap and recession worthy. The versatile oat can be added to recipes to replace some of the breadcrumbs (i.e. meatballs, use plain!), added to pancakes for extra softness, or just thrown on top of fruit in a crisp.
