SUNNY CRANBERRY OATMEAL



Sunny Cranberry Oatmeal image

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

Time 5m

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries are more flavorful and have a better texture than frozen or dried cranberries.
  • Don't overcook the oatmeal. Oatmeal should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked oatmeal will be mushy and bland.
  • Add your favorite toppings. Oatmeal is a versatile dish that can be topped with a variety of ingredients, such as nuts, seeds, dried fruit, and fresh fruit. Get creative and experiment with different toppings to find your favorite combination.
  • Make it ahead of time. Oatmeal can be made ahead of time and reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop. This is a great option for busy mornings when you don't have time to cook a fresh breakfast.

Conclusion:

These cranberry oatmeal recipes are a delicious and healthy way to start your day. They are filled with heart-healthy oats, tart cranberries, and warm spices. Plus, they are easy to make and can be tailored to your own dietary needs and preferences. Whether you like your oatmeal thick or thin, sweet or savory, there is a recipe in this article that you will enjoy.
