Instructions

In a medium bowl, beat the butter, light brown sugar, and salt with a hand mixer or sturdy spatula until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute.
Fold in the rolled oats.
Serve soft, or spoon onto plastic wrap, roll into a log, and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. Serve with warm biscuits, toast, rolls, scones, or pancakes.

Tips

Let chilled butter soften for 15 minutes before serving so it spreads without tearing the bread.
Vanilla boost: add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract with the other flavorings for a rounder, warmer flavor.
Storage: Refrigerate, covered, for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
