Post Thanksgiving, I have had an overabundance of fresh cranberries, and one can only eat just so much cranberry sauce. Hence the need to add them to as many dishes as I can, including some delicious oatmeal.
Serves 1-2
Side note...If you know me at all, I tend to eat a lot, so what can sometimes serve 2, is usually enough for me (slight justification for the quantities that I eat...I run, rock climb, do yoga and work at Starbucks, which is a workout in itself). This recipe was a perfect quantity for me, so if you don't eat as much as me all the time, just slightly reduce the quantities of each ingredient or save a little for dessert for later that night!
Cranberry, Blueberry, Raisin, Almond Oatmeal
- 1 1/2 C. water
- 1 handful fresh cranberries-less if you are not a fan of tartness
- 1 small handful of blueberries-I used frozen
- 2 T. raisins-I used golden raisins, they tend to not be as dry
- 1 T. slivered almonds or any other nut that you like
- 1 T. sugar or sweetener of your choice (vary the quantity depending on how sweet you like your oatmeal, and how much you like tart cranberries...I don't like a lot of sugar and I love tart cranberries)
- 1 t. Apple Pie Spice
Add 1 1/2 C water and handful of cranberries to a pot. Heat on high and bring to a boil.
Boil for 2-3 minutes or until all cranberries have popped.
While water and cranberries are still boiling add blueberries, raisins, almonds, sugar, and Apple Pie Spice.
Bring back to a boil.
Add oatmeal and stir.
Reduce heat and cook until desired consistency of oatmeal has been achieved.
Pour into a bowl and enjoy!
p.s. Best enjoyed with a mug of Celestial Seasoning's True Blueberry Tea!
