# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It feels fancy but takes less effort than pouring cereal.
  • The rosemary adds this unexpected warmth that makes your kitchen smell like a cozy cafe.
  • You wake up to breakfast already made, which is honestly the best kind of magic.
02 -
  • Don't skip chopping the rosemary finely, big pieces taste like you're chewing a pine tree.
  • Stir the roasted toppings halfway through or the edges will burn while the centers stay pale.
  • If your oats look too thick in the morning, stir in a splash of milk to loosen them up.
03 -
  • Use a really good quality honey, you can taste the difference when there's so few ingredients.
  • Let the roasted toppings cool completely before storing or condensation will make them soggy.
  • If you don't have fresh herbs, use half the amount of dried, but fresh really does make this recipe sing.
