Health and fertility benefits of Overnight Oatmeal with Almonds and Cranberries

Researchers believe that cranberries contain substances that prevent infection-causing bacteria from sticking to the urinary tract walls. However, store-bought cranberry juice is typically all sugar - so make sure to stick with straight cranberries.

Ingredients

1 1/2 c. steel-cut oats
6 c. water
1/4 c. chopped salted roasted almonds
1/4 c. dried cranberries
Brown sugar or pure maple syrup

Instructions

In a large saucepan, boil the oats in the water for 1 minute. Cover and let stand overnight at room temperature.
The next day, uncover the oats and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently, until the oatmeal is cooked and creamy but still a little bit chewy, about 10 minutes. Spoon the oatmeal into bowls. Top with the chopped almonds and dried cranberries and sweeten to taste with brown sugar or pure maple syrup.
