How to make your own vanilla oats. This DIY recipe is super easy to make and is perfect for baking or making oatmeal.
Okay I am about to drive you crazy but hey, what are lunatics for right?! I need to put these all in separate posts for a reason. Feel free to read them all or just skim them. Up to you. I mean I would read them as I think I am fascinating but that's just me.
So here is another experiment for you. This is cool and would work really well for cookies and bars. I just love this one. The inspiration is again from Paula Deen's magazine. But this idea was mine, all mine. I have visions of myself a bit like Jekyll and Hyde right now. Not sure if that's a good thing. I also have an overwhelming desire to flip a giant switch and laugh.
Enjoy folks. I know I am going to. Cookies on the horizon with vanilla scented and flavoured oats. Aw, it's like heaven in a little container.

Love all your vanilla scented items!! I have done vanilla sugar before - but not oats or salt or brown sugar - great idea!
