Creamy Maple Cranberry Oatmeal
(Makes 4 servings)
This is my favorite oatmeal. I've also substituted
brown sugar for the maple syrup with great results!
If the toasted wheat germ scares you feel free to
leave it out.
Ingredients:
3 1/2 cups soy milk
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
2 cups oats (quick or old fashioned, uncooked)
1/2 cup dried cranberries (such as Craisins)
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup toasted wheat germ
1. In medium saucepan, bring soy milk and salt to a gentle boil (Watch
carefully).
2. Stir in oats, cranberries, and maple syrup.
3. Return to a boil; reduce heat to medium.
4. Cook 1 minute for quick oats, 5 minutes for old fashioned oats or
until most of milk is absorbed, stirring occasionally.
5. Let stand until desired consistency.
6. Stir in wheat germ.
7. Spoon oatmeal into four cereal bowls.
8. Drizzle with additional syrup, if desired.
9. Serve with soy milk or soy yogurt, if desired.
