Delicious Cranberry and Apple Baked Oatmeal: THM E

This trim healthy mama e cranberry and apple baked oatmeal is delicious!

I don’t know what happened but somehow I didn’t get a single picture of it baked! I honestly don’t know what happened since I made this right before Christmas. You will have to trust me that this is as good as I say it is. Baked oatmeal is one of my favorite breakfasts. I can make up a 9×13 pan, eat it as many days in a week as I want and freeze the rest. Anytime I need an instant breakfast, I get a piece out of the freezer.

If you have extra cranberries around don’t know what to use them for, make this easy breakfast.

Cranberries are so good for you and they are so cheap! If you want to mix things up, use them in this recipe. It will easily become your favorite. Cold weather for me means no more cold breakfasts. I also don’t like getting up everyday and make a new breakfast. I am all about cooking/prepping once and eating for a bit.

A couple tips that might help when you make this.

I tossed the cranberries in some sweetener before mixing in. This coats the tart cranberries and makes them taste less tart. I added a little bit of chopped nuts to the top. If you plan on having this with a coffee with a teaspoon of fat in it, don’t add the nuts. We are encouraged to have the teaspoon of fat in our e meals and I like the nuts sprinkled on top for a little flavor and crunch.
