Cranberry, Cinnamon, and Brown Sugar Steel Cut Oats

I love instant oatmeal raisins and spice flavor, but I wanted better oats, so this is my own twist. This recipe is not quick, but if you make this large amount, you can refrigerate in small storage containers for a quick and easy snack or meal. This oatmeal taste great hot but even tastes good cold when you are on the go.

Cranberry, Cinnamon, And Brown Sugar Steel Cut Oats Reviews

• Great flavor, stick to your ribs, healthy breakfast for anytime of day. I chose to omit the butter and sugar as I cooked this to accommodate my dieting daughter, so those who wanted them added them on top. This is comfort food Thanks

• This was absolutely delicious. My whole family LOVED it - even my one year old. I did add an extra TBSP of brown sugar, but otherwise made it as directed. So yummy

• This was excellent It was my first attempt at making steel cut oats. I did omit the dried cranberries as I dont particularly care for them. The recipe and times are spot on I divided the portions into 8 1cup containers and froze for future use. Thanks for a great recipe

• Very good starter recipe for me but I added raisins instead of cranberries, 2tsp vanilla, an extra 2tsp of cinnamon, extra 1tb butter & 1/4c of brown sugar. Soooo good

• So good Im not a fan of oatmeal in general but wanted to try steel cut oats and found this recipe. I only made 4 servings but added 1 tablespoon butter, 1 teaspoon cinnamon (were big cinnamon fans) and 1/4 cup brown sugar. Oh my So yummy I added some toasted slivered almonds to the top as well. Thanks for sharing Ill definitely be making this one again

• I added a tablespoon more sugar and a tsp of vanilla just bc I like vanilla. Great recipe. Easy to follow.

• This is definitely one of the best oatmeal recipes I have ever made and eaten. I make it a lot and it is now my go to recipe for steel cut oats. I do substitute soy milk for the milk and Canadian maple syrup for the brown sugar and add walnuts sometimes.

• Made exactly as instructed though used my slow cooker because I had the time. Cooked on low for about four hours, stirring every hour. Delicious

• Part of my new years resolution is to work on making healthier/lighter meals, specifically those that i make for bf to take to work.. hence seeking this out.. i cut the recipe in half and made the following modifications: 3 cups water for the 4, almond milk for the whole milk, sugar substitute for the brown sugar and nonfat buttery spread for the real stuff.. i doubled the cinnamon and added 1 tsp of vanilla extract.. i left out the dried cranberries as i had none.. this felt a little lacking so i added 2 tsp of actual brown sugar.. i didnt bother using another bowl for the milk mixture, just added the ingredients into the pot one by one.. i ended up cooking it for a total of 20 mins after that.. on a side note, one could argue that using artificial substitutes is not all that healthy but this is a lot easier than coaxing bf into some kind of vegan diet.. well save that for his daughter :-) .. ty for the recipe

• It turned out very well by following the instructions. I didnt use the cranberries because I didnt have them on hand, but still it has a nice mild flavor and its not too sweet.

• This was so easy to make and unbelievably delicious (I did add a tad more cranberries than the recipe called for). Absolutely loved that I wanted some oats this morning and could make it in about 30mins (as opposed to in a slow cooker for hours). Highly recommend this for any morning

• Good starter recipe. I toasted the oats in the 1 tbsp butter before anything else. I ended up using a lot more salt than 1 pinch, but I didnt measure. Used half and half in place of milk. Added 1 tsp vanilla. Only used 1/4 cup sugar, but I also threw some maple syrup in there. Added about 3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, which made it for me, the coconut makes it amazing Also I used about 1/2 cup Golden raisins instead of the cranberries. SO GOOD

• Ive made this several times and its fantastic. Perfect texture and flavor. I omit the dried berries and add fresh blueberries when I heat up a bowl.

• This recipe is great, filling, and makes a large quantity. I added about 1 tsp vanilla extract, increased the cinnamon to 2 tsp, added 2 tsp of nutmeg, and it was delicious

• This is a great recipe

• This is so healthy but good tasting I added walnuts and more cinnamon. I also increased the salt to 1 tsp given the amount of oats being cooked. I am thinking apples cooked in would also be excellent as well as raisins. Making this again for sure

• Great recipe to modify. I used raisins, brown sugar and maple syrup. Use whatever you have, such as strawberry jam as a flavorful sweetener. Steel cut oats stick to your ribs and are good leftover, so make extra.

• Made as directed and loved it
