    With Christmas just around the corner I though we could start off this years Christmas recipes with this excellent baked cranberry oatmeal!

    This is a quick to make baked oatmeal breakfast with a delicious sweet taste and a fantastic aroma of cinnamon.

    It's very similar to my baked apple and cinnamon oats recipe that I posted just over a year ago.

    My other half and I have been enjoying that ever since!

    Sometimes it's wonderful to just wake up to the delicious amazing aroma of a baked oatmeal breakfast.

    It makes you forget all about the nasty weather outside and just concentrate on all thats good!

    It's great for Christmas but as it's made with dried cranberries it can be made all year round too.

    I don't know about you but I often find fresh cranberries difficult to get at any other time.

    So I stuck with dried canberries, although you could of course use fresh cranberries!

    The inspiration for this baked oatmeal breakfast came about when I was searching for a festive baked cranberry Christmas breakfast.

    I couldn't find one easy enough to make on Google so I decided to make up my own.

    My recipes are always as simple as possible.

    Please feel free to add any extra ingredients you might like such as some nuts or seeds into the bake to give it an added crunch.

    If you do, then why not comment below so as to help other people with some variations on my original recipe? It's always appreciated!

      Cranberries, either fresh or dried, always bring those Christmas vibes, and this baked oatmeal is no exception. Agreed on that this recipe is perfectly customized, and I'd add in my version a little of orange zest and nutmeg. Delicious!

      such an interesting idea neil. i had never thought of baking oats. it reminds me of a story my scottish housemate told me of his grandmother cooking up oat porridge and leaving it to set inside a kitchen dresser drawer and just slicing off a bit each morning for breakfast. i thought he was joking till i read about it somewhere else.

        Yes that's absolutely true Sherry. I believe that taking a slice of that porridge oat mixture also make for a great lunch too! 😉

      This sounds delicious..and perfect for the holidays! I love baked oatmeal. It's such a filling and comforting breakfast on cold winter days. And the addition of dried cranberries here sounds quite tasty, Neil! In fact, I could go for a bowl of this right about now! (It's 5:00am here, and I couldn't sleep. Haha!)

        This baked cranberry oatmeal is great for Christmas and for all year round agreed David! It was easier getting dried cranberries than fresh so that was a better option so the recipe can be made at any time. Thanks David, hope you have a good Thanksgiving! 😀

      DELICIOUS!!!! This baked oatmeal sounds and looks heavenly. What a perfect filling and delicious breakfast, especially for this time of year! Totally agree, fresh cranberries are very hard for me to find any time of year besides the holidays, so I love that you've created this with dried cranberries that can be found all year long. Can't wait to try this!

      Neil, what a delicious breakfast! And so hearty and healthy! I always stock up on fresh cranberries during the short time that I can find them for our Thanksgiving in July dinner. Other than that, it's dried cranberries for the rest of the year. I might even prefer the dried cranberries. They seem a little sweeter. Thanks for sharing!

        I still find it difficult to get fresh cranberries Kelly, even when they're in season. So dried cranberries are better for me too. Glad you like the recipe, thank you! 🙂
