How to Make Baked Cranberry Oatmeal

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly grease a 9x9 inch baking pan with nonstick spray.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy), 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup margarine or butter, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  4. While the milk mixture simmers, combine 3 cups rolled oats, 1 medium apple (chopped), 1 cup dried cranberries (or cherries, blueberries, or raisins), and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans in a large bowl.
  5. Pour the simmering milk mixture evenly over the oat mixture, stirring to combine.
  6. Pour the combined mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the oatmeal is set and the top is lightly golden brown. The liquid should be fully absorbed.
  8. Let cool slightly before cutting into 6 servings.
  9. Serve warm, garnished with a sliced apple and a glass of milk (optional).
