Ten pounds of organic oats? When I picked up my order from the Urban Greens Buying Club, the bag was bigger than I thought. But to my surprise, I went through all ten pounds in a couple of months, and oats eclipsed flour on my list of pantry staples.

Here are some of the recipes that had me loving oats this winter. What about you?

• Basic Granola – my recipe
• Chocolate Peanut Butter Granola – my recipe
• Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal – my recipe
• Cherry Almond Cocoa Nib Granola Bars – from Love & Olive Oil. I upped the chocolate factor even more by using cocoa dusted almonds
• Oatmeal Raisin Cookies – from the Bouchon cookbook, adapted by blogger Annie’s Eats
