I love cranberries, they're high in vitamin C, and have antioxidant and antibacterial effects in the body.
I decided to make an oatmeal dish which is simply delicious. It's soft, gooey and sweet and will fulfil you up until lunch. When I have cranberries, I instantly think of nutmeg and Christmassy spices, so I decided to add these to the recipe. As you cook the oatmeal infused with spices, you can instantly smell that seasonal sensation which percolates around the house. The best thing about oatmeal is that it does mix well with so many things and being a peanut butter lover, why not dollop a teaspoon on top to satisfy your peanut craving?!
Serves 1
40g oatmeal
50ml (whole/semi skimmed) milk
100ml water
30g cranberries
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1-2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
pinch of salt
Method
- Place all the ingredients into a pan and stir continuously for about 8 minutes until thick and sticky. If too thick, add another 50ml of water and stir.
- When it comes to the spices, I suggest you start with a little, taste and add more according to your level of satisfaction. I like to add enough to give it a kick which is not too overpowering.
- Serve with a sprinkle of cranberries on top
Have a lovely day!
