01
Step 1
Start by bringing a big pot of water to a boil. Once it’s bubbling, stir in the steel cut oats and keep them boiling for about 5 minutes until the mixture starts to thicken. Add a pinch of salt and give it a good stir. Turn the heat down to low and let the oats simmer gently for around 20 minutes, until they start to soften.

Step 2
While that’s cooking, whisk together the milk, brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon in a bowl until everything’s smooth. Pour this mixture into the pot with the oats and keep cooking for another 10 to 15 minutes, until the oats are nice and tender.

Step 3
Finally, stir in the cranberries to spread them through the oatmeal. Let everything cook just long enough to warm the berries, about 2 or 3 minutes, then serve and enjoy!

How to serve
Serve this warm bowl topped with a splash of milk or a dollop of yogurt for creaminess. Add chopped nuts or a drizzle of honey for extra texture and sweetness. It makes a great breakfast or a cozy snack on chilly mornings.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of water or milk to loosen the texture if needed.
