Cranberry Oatmeal

Fresh cranberries simmered until tender and mixed with old-fashioned rolled oats for a delicious and hearty breakfast.

Ingredients

2 cups water 

6 ounces fresh cranberries (roughly 1 2/3 cup) 

1/4 cup sugar 

1/4 cup light brown sugar 

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 

1/8 teaspoon ground ginger 

1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats 

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 

1/4 teaspoon salt 

Topping (optional)

 3 tablespoons light brown sugar 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts 

Instructions

In a large saucepan bring to a boil over medium heat 1/2 cup water, cranberries, sugars, cinnamon and ginger.

Cook, stirring occasionally until mixture thickens slightly and cranberries become tender and burst, about 8-10 minutes. Stir in remaining 1 1/2 cups water, rolled oats, vanilla extra and salt. Return to a boil over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally for about 3-5 minutes. 

Cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 2-3 minutes. Serve warm or place in oven safe ramekins and sprinkle with brown sugar. Place under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until topping is caramelized. Top with chopped nuts.
