New Product Review:

Oatmeal Toasters

Reviewed by Mr Breakfast on 4/23/2013

This is a different kind of toaster pastry. Don't expect any frosting or gooey filling like you get with Kellogg's Pop-Tarts and similar products. However, you can expect a lot of flavor and a freshness you don't get with those other products.

Oatmeal Toasters From Nature's Own are basically interesting slices of bread. They're squares that you split in two and toast. Their shape struck me as a cross between a Pop-Tart and a Pillsbury Toaster Strudel.

I tried two varieties. The Cinnamon Raisin Oatmeal Toasters reminded me of a good, fresh raisin bagel. When I added a smear of butter, it brought back memories of the last time I made raisin bread. When toasted, the texture is somewhere between toast and bagel... dense, but not too dense.





The other variety was Orange Cranberry. The flavors of this one reminded me of muffins I've made with orange zest. The taste is brighter and maybe more interesting than the Cinnamon Raisin's homey, familiar flavor. The cranberry component is a bit subdued. If you eat too fast, you might not realize it's even there. But if you eat slow and savor a bite, you'll think, "Oh yeah, cranberry and orange go pretty great together."





I tried both varieties toasted and untoasted... with and without butter. Both varieties were best when toasted with a very light spread of butter. If I were pressed to pick a favorite of the two, I would go with Orange Cranberry just because it felt somehow more unique than the other one. Then again, I really liked how the Cinnamon Raisin Toasters nailed the traditional flavors of a good bagel. I'm conflicted. Therefore, I declare a tie. They're both winners.
