Yield Makes 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
3 tablespoons milk
2 large eggs
1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 cups old-fashioned oats
1 cup dried cranberries

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together the vanilla, milk, and eggs. Set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter with both sugars, and beat on medium speed until light and fluffy. Reduce speed to low, gradually add milk mixture, and beat well. Add the flour mixture, and beat until just combined. Remove bowl from the electric mixer, and stir in the oats and cranberries. Place dough in the refrigerator until firm, at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line several baking sheets with parchment paper, and set aside. Shape 2 tablespoons of dough into a ball; place on one of the prepared sheets. Repeat with the remaining dough, placing 3 inches apart. Press with the bottom of a glass to flatten dough into 2-inch-diameter rounds.
  • Bake until golden but still soft in center, 16 to 18 minutes, rotating halfway through. Remove from oven; transfer with parchment to a wire rack to cool. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

CRANBERRY APPLE OATMEAL



Cranberry Apple Oatmeal image

I made this one morning in an effort to use up leftover cranberries from Thanksgiving. It's filling, healthy, and delicious! If you generally make oatmeal with milk instead of water, don't! The acid in the cranberries will make the milk separate. I tried it. It will still taste okay, but it won't look very pretty.

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

Categories     Breakfast

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 have a tart and tangy flavor that pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the oatmeal. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen or dried cranberries, but fresh cranberries will give you the best results.
  • Don't overcook the oatmeal: Oatmeal is best when it's cooked until it's tender but still has a little bit of bite to it. If you overcook it, it will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Oatmeal is a great blank canvas for your favorite toppings. Some popular options include nuts, seeds, dried fruit, and honey. You can also add a dollop of yogurt or cream for extra richness.
  • Make it ahead of time: Oatmeal is a great make-ahead breakfast. You can cook it the night before and reheat it in the morning, or you can even make it in a slow cooker overnight. This makes it a great option for busy week mornings.

Conclusion:

Cranberry oatmeal is a delicious and healthy breakfast option that's perfect for Valentine's Day. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a special breakfast, give cranberry oatmeal a try. You won't be disappointed!
