In another pan, melt the remaining butter. Add oats, a pinch of salt, 1 tbsp Langnese Bee Easy Acacia Honey, and chopped almonds. Toast over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden. Spread on parchment paper to cool.

In a small bowl, combine crème fraîche with ½ tsp orange zest and ½ tsp ground vanilla. Stir in 2 tbsp of milk and mix until smooth and creamy.
