Prepare the oatmeal per the instructions on the package. I like to use milk instead of water or least half milk and half water. The texture is much more creamy.
When the oatmeal is near to your desired consistency as the remaining ingredients. Let the oatmeal set so the cranberries soften somewhat.
Distribute to 4 dishes. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired. It's also great served with a splash of milk on top or even a small pat of butter.
Any dried fruit can replace the cranberries. This is just my favorite version.
Mr Breakfast would like to thank AnaLola for this recipe.
