I loved the blend of flavors - lovely bits of sweetness with the dried cranberries. The nut mixture was an excellent touch and helped to make this oatmeal so filling. The only change I may make in the future is to cut down on the amount of oatmeal - I was already filled up only halfway through my bowl! Thanks for sharing!

After I ate this, I walked around the kitchen going "wow!" over and over. I love to try oatmeal all different ways, and this is one of the best oatmeals I've ever made! You break the crunchy topping apart almost like a brittle, and it is the real star here. I also liked the tart counterbalance of the cranberries. For our tastes, I halved the milk and maple syrup that topped the oatmeal. This one's a definite winner!

Hi Sharon, I made this in honor of your "cook a thon" and am sending good thoughts your way! I eat a lot oatmeal but this was so good that I had to quickly make a second bowl! The granola had a perfect crunch to it and was so easy. I microwaved my butter, nuts, syrup first. I will making another batch this morning, too. Thanks for posting. Roxygirl
