Directions

  1. Bring water to a boil in a large pot. Stir oats into boiling water and cook at a boil until the mixture begins to thicken, about 5 minutes. Season oats mixture with salt, stir.

  2. Reduce heat to low and simmer oats until beginning to soften, about 20 minutes.

  3. Stir milk, brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon together in a bowl with a whisk until smooth, stir into the oats mixture. Continue cooking the oats until tender, 10 to 15 minutes more.

  4. Stir cranberries into the oatmeal to distribute throughout the mixture, cook just until the berries are warmed, 2 to 3 minutes.

Recipe Note

I love instant oatmeal 'raisins and spice' flavor, but I wanted better oats, so this is my own twist. This recipe is not 'quick,' but if you make this large amount, you can refrigerate in small storage containers for a quick and easy snack or meal. This oatmeal taste great hot but even tastes good cold when you are on the go.
