Oatmeal Cranberry Breakfast Bake
I like to prepare this baked oatmeal on weekend mornings when I have a little extra time," says Angela Higinbotham of Willis, California. "Even guests who typically don't like oatmeal fill their bowls with this hearty version, flavored with dried cranberries, brown sugar and cinnamon."

Makes lovely little snack bars as well! I made this a little more traditional by soaking my oats over night with 2 cups water and 2 TBSP apple cider vinegar, along with 1/4 cup of coconut oil (in place of canola) and a couple TBSP of whole wheat flour (for phytase). In the morning I added 1 cup of whole milk and the rest of the ingredients. I also reduced the sugar to 1/3 cup of coconut sugar - the cranberries make it plenty sweet! It was delicious and my family loved it!
I love this recipe! I will bake it up, have a serving and then cut it into pieces and wrap individually in plastic wrap to reheat on weekday mornings. Very good. Also, it is easy to cut it in half and just make 6 servings.
I made this recipe for the purpose of freezing the individual squares for quick, on the go breakfasts. The oatmeal tastes great and I love that its such an easy, hearty breakfast (making it ahead of time) that my family can use on busy mornings.
I made this recipe for the purpose of freezing the squares individually for quick, on the go breakfasts. I love the taste and love that it is another recipe to make our morning faster! Will be making again!
I made this recipe especially so I could cut it up into squares and freeze individually for our busy mornings. I really enjoyed the taste and the fact that it is a portable option to oatmeal. I will be making this again and using some of the substitutions that the other reviewers mentioned.
We have oatmeal every morning, I made this today for a change it was delicious and very easy to make. I cut the sugar to 1/4 cup, used almond milk and added applesauce instead of oil.
It was just alright to me, my husband couldn't eat it though. It was way too sweet for him.
we love these bars....so easy to make and healthy, too...when cooled, i wrap individually in saran wrap for a grab-n-go snack...better than store bought granola bars...cheaper, too AND you know what's in them! :-)
I decrease the oil to 1/8 cup and it is still moist and delicious.
Disappears immediately at my house - hot or cold! I keep the dry ingredients mixed up as packets so I can make a batch quickly. Have also substituted some of the cranberries for other dried berries and golden raisins. Add some chopped walnuts if you like them.
