Recipe idea from the blog joy of the kitchen . I played with the recipe and ended up with a wonderfully tasty combo of creamy oatmeal, tart cranberries, sweet brown sugar, and crunchy almonds crowned with a drizzle of maple syrup. Read more . Toasting the almonds really enhances their flavor; I used slivered but sliced would work well too. Ingredients:
2 tblsps slivered almonds |
1 cup 1% lowfat milk |
1/2 cup old fashioned oatmeal |
1 tbsp brown sugar |
2 tbsps dried cranberries |
pure maple syrup |
Directions:
1. Toast the almonds in a dry skillet until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly.
2. Bring milk to a boil and add the oats, brown sugar, and cranberries. Cook about 5 mins over medium heat, stirring occasionally,
3. Stir in most of the almonds, reserving a few for a garnish. Drizzle maple syrup over the oatmeal and enjoy!
