Oatmeal Dinner Rolls
These oatmeal dinner rolls provide a delicious addition to most family meals. They rise quite high as they bake, making them incredibly light and fluffy.
And while no one may ask, these rolls offer great nutrition, too! Research continues to show the amazing health benefits of oats. However, even with the nutrition and delicious taste, they bake up quite easily with ingredients from your pantry. We make them often and think you might, too.
Saving time helps, too. Make a larger batch and freeze part for baking at a later date.
Perfect on their own, they also dress up even more with special spreads. Consider whipping up a bit of honey butter. It offers a divine effect on these rolls.
- To make honey butter, simply mix equal amounts of butter and honey. Use 1/2 cup butter, softened. Add to that, 1/2 cup of your favorite honey. Make sure your honey is pure honey. Often store-bought honey will include sugars and additives. Some contain no honey at all.
- Blend together to reach the desired consistency. Stir in 1 tsp cinnamon, if desired.
- Chill until ready to use.
- For whipped honey butter, use your electric beater. This spreads easily on your dinner rolls.
- To incorporate other flavors to your butter spread, consider adding your favorite all-fruit jam or fresh fruit.
