This Holiday Spice Cranberry Oatmeal is a complex blend of warm holiday spices like cinnamon and a hint of cayenne — blended into a creamy mix of oats, tropical bananas, coconut milk, roasted macadamia nuts and perky, red, dried cranberries. One spoonful and you’ll feel like you are spending winter in Hawaii.
Note: when I say ‘coconut milk’ I actually mean coconut milk, as in Silk’s brand called PureCoconut. It is like non-dairy soy or almond milk — only using hints of coconut as the base. Much lighter than actual coconut milk. You could also sub with basic soy, rice or almond milk and add shredded coconut for the same hint of flavor.
