SUNNY CRANBERRY OATMEAL

This is my favorite oatmeal - I'll eat it for breakfast or lunch! Very filling and super tasty with the dried cranberries, almonds and orange marmalade. Be sure to add the dried cranberries right away as they rehydrate while cooking which makes them very flavorful. If I'm not that hungry I'll reduce the oats to 1/4 cup and leave the other ingredients the same. Milk can be substituted for water if desired - when we ate oatmeal as little kids it was because we were out of milk for our cereal, so I always make my oatmeal with water.... personal preference is everything! *Note: 1 tablespoon of Smucker's sugar-free orange marmalade has 10 calories WW points = 3

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/3 cup old fashioned oats
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon sugar-free orange marmalade
1 tablespoon sliced almonds (toasted if you have the time)
1 tablespoon dried cranberries

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients in microwave safe dish.
  • Microwave on high for 1 minute and stir, then microwave for another 2 minutes stirring every 30 seconds until your desired consistency is reached. In my 1200wt microwave it takes 2 minutes and 30 seconds for my liking - it does thicken a little as it cools.

CREAMY MAPLE CRANBERRY OATMEAL

Another delicious breakfast from Quaker Oats. This one is my favorite yet! It's so much better than storebought oatmeal mixes, and if you use soy milk it's dairy-free! I've also tried using part soy milk and part water to make it a little lighter and using brown sugar in place of the maple syrup, and it still turned out great!

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor than dried cranberries and will give your oatmeal a more vibrant color.
  • Don't overcook the oats. Oatmeal is best when it is cooked until it is tender but still has a little bit of a bite to it. If you overcook the oats, they will become mushy and bland.
  • Add your favorite toppings. Oatmeal is a great base for a variety of toppings. Some popular choices include nuts, seeds, dried fruit, and yogurt. You can also add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for sweetness.
  • Make a big batch. Oatmeal is a great make-ahead breakfast. You can cook a big batch on the weekend and then reheat it throughout the week. This will save you time and money in the long run.

Sunny Cranberry Oatmeal is a delicious and healthy way to start your day. It is packed with nutrients and flavor, and it can be easily customized to your liking.
