“With its mild maple flavor and crispy broiled topping, this oatmeal is comforting yet special. I often use dried cherries instead of the raisins and add star anise to spice it up a bit.” —Rose Ann Wilson, Germantown, Wisconsin
Ingredients
- 8 cups 2% milk
- 2 cups steel-cut oats
- 1 cinnamon stick (3 inches)
- 1 orange peel strip (1 to 3 inches)
- Dash salt
- 3/4 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup golden raisins
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- Buttermilk, optional
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
Directions
- In a large heavy saucepan, bring milk to a boil over medium heat. Add the oats, cinnamon, orange peel and salt. Reduce heat; simmer until thick and creamy, about for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from the heat; discard cinnamon and orange peel. Stir in the cranberries, raisins, syrup and a small amount of buttermilk if desired. Cover and let stand for 2 minutes.
