If you have read many posts here at New Nostalgia, you will know that I have a thing for oatmeal. I have oats almost every morning. I love how filling and nutritious they are. I like ’em cold in the summer (overnight chia oatmeal pudding) and hot in the winter, just like my coffee!
Cinnamon Apple Cranberry Oatmeal
Serves 2.
1 cup water
1 cup milk or milk substitute (I used almond)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp salt
pinch nutmeg
1/3 cup dried cranberries
1 cup oats
1 apple, sliced thinly, then chopped
Sweetener of choice-I drizzle with real maple syrup
Pat of butter or butter substitute (I use Earth Balance) (optional)
__________________
Bring water, milk, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg & cranberries to a boil. Add oats. Stir and reduce heat. Simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add thinly sliced apples. I use a mandolin, then do a rough chop. This makes them small enough for the hot oats to soften them just enough. Drizzle with maple syrup or sprinkle with brown sugar.

October 21, 2011 at 12:38 amI’m a huge oat fan, too! This morning I took the easy road though and got a quick bite at Starbuck’s. I love how you get a bag of mixed dried fruit and a bag of mixed chopped nuts. I just through both in the little bowl and replace the lid to let it simmer for a bit. When I eat oats at home, and I eat a variety of types, I add either raw honey (I’m enjoying macadamia nut honey right now) or Grade B maple syrup. I just love the rich, dark flavor of the lesser processed syrup. Oh, I also use coconut oil and sometimes I add a little plain greek yogurt (whole milk) for creaminess. I love your combination of flavors. Thanks so much for sharing.
