The ingredients for Simple Cranberry Walnut Oatmeal are:

NOTE: Not all of the ingredients listed are available in the database in tablespoon sizes. Assume 0.06 cups equals one tablespoon, and 0.12 cups equals two. Also, you only need two dashes or so of ground cinnamon.

3/4 Cup Oatmeal (original, not "fast cook" or instant)
1.5 Cups Water
2 dashes salt
2 dashes cinnamon
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon Craisins (dried, sweetened cranberries are really awesome for this!)
1 tablespoon chopped walnuts

Here is how you make Simple Cranberry Walnut Oatmeal:

This recipe shamelessly steals some of the preparation instructions from the Quaker Oatmeal package. Seeing as I'm recommending their product here, I doubt they'll mind. ;)Combine the water, salt, cinnamon, sugar, Craisins, and walnuts in a small cooking pan. It is *important* to add the ingredients at the first. Boiling will rehydrate the Craisins into sweetened cranberries, and will also cause the oatmeal to absorb some of the walnut oil, which results in a "buttery" taste that isn't heavy or unhealthy like actual butter.Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.Add the oatmeal. Reduce the heat immediately to roughly medium-low, or whatever keeps it simmering.Stir the mixture occasionally until it is at the level of firmness that you prefer.Enjoy! I usually consider this to be a "meal-sized" breakfast dish, so I call it one 2 cup serving. You can easily split it in half and serve it with other breakfast items if you're cooking for two people. Also, this recipe scales VERY well.Number of Servings: 1Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user ACALMAN.
