Notes From Mr Breakfast: First of all, thanks very much to "Griffin" for this recipe submission. I made it this morning (6/11/11) and had just a couple suggestions. For just a bit more of a well-rounded flavor, I liked adding 1/2 teaspoon of sugar and just an 1/8 of teaspoon of vanilla. Stir those in when you add the cranberries and almonds. Another ingredient to consider adding is just the lightest amount of orange zest (no more than 1/8 teaspoon). You'll be surprised how much flavor and freshness that adds to any oatmeal. Finally, a drizzle of fresh maple syrup is just the thing if you find you need a little more flavor or sweetness as you enjoy this dish. Cranberries lend a fruity tang and almonds offer a surprising light crunch in this healthy oatmeal breakfast. Mr Breakfast would like to thank Griffin for this recipe. Recipe number 3033.
