Cranberry Walnut Oatmeal

INGREDIENTS:-

• Oatmeal (quick oats, if you can get them)
• Dried Cranberries (like Craisins)
• Walnuts

SUGGESTED OPTIONAL INGREDIENTS:-

• Honey, Sugar, or Maple Syrup
• Fresh Apples

DIRECTIONS:-

• Boil water in the kettle.
• Place the amount of oatmeal you will eat in your bowl.
• Add the required amount of boiling water to the bowl based on the oatmeal instructions (basically, just cover the oatmeal).
• Cover the top of the bowl with the lid or a plate, plastic bag, brochure or other make-shift “lid” to keep the heat in.
• Wait 5 minutes or until all water is absorbed and oatmeal is cooked.
• Add dried cranberries, chopped walnuts, and any optional ingredients you want.
• Stir and enjoy!

VARIATIONS:-

• Try other dried fruit such as raisins, pineapple, mango, papaya instead of cranberries.
• Try other nuts such as almonds, macadamia, or pecans instead of walnuts.
• Try other fresh fruit such as bananas, pear, cherries, or plums instead of apples.
• If you add any dried fruit to the oatmeal before adding the water, they will re-hydrate somewhat and become softer.
• You can basically add anything to oatmeal – mix and match and be creative!
