Oatmeal With Dried Fruit Compote image

This healthy (no salt, no sugar added)breakfast is "fast" food at it's best. Together golden raisins, apricots and cranberries make a colorful compote. For make ahead meals, place oatmeal/compote layers in individual covered containers and refrigerate (or pop a few in the freezer) until ready to reheat in the microwave. We serve this topped with warm milk or cream. What a great way to start the day!

I'm allergic to nuts, so I omitted the walnuts from the recipe. The oatmeal compote was still delicious without them. I added a sprinkle of cinnamon instead for a bit of extra flavor.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover dried fruit. I had a bunch of cranberries and raisins that were about to go bad, so I threw them in the compote and it turned out delicious.

This oatmeal compote is a cozy and comforting breakfast on a cold winter morning. The warmth of the oats and the sweetness of the compote are the perfect way to start the day.

This oatmeal compote is a lifesaver on busy mornings. I make a big batch on the weekend and then reheat it throughout the week. It's a healthy and delicious breakfast that keeps me full and satisfied until lunchtime.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. I like to use a variety of dried fruits, such as cherries, blueberries, and chopped apricots. I also add a bit of honey to the compote for extra sweetness. It's a great way to start the day!

This recipe is a disaster! The oats were mushy and the compote was runny. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. Definitely not making this again.

Meh, it was okay. The oatmeal was a bit bland and the compote was too sweet for my taste. I think I'll stick to my regular oatmeal recipe.

This oatmeal compote was a delightful fusion of flavors and textures. The oats were cooked perfectly, retaining a slight chewiness while absorbing the sweet, tangy goodness of the dried fruit compote. The berries, apricots, and raisins added a vibran
