An easy holiday gift - steel cut oats in a jar with cranberries and almonds. Printable tags included in this post!

Cranberry almond steel cut oatmeal is a great gift to make and give this holiday season!

It’s getting to be that time of year again! Time to think about the treats and crafts that we’re going to make and share with our family and friends. I love Christmas crafting and baking, and I love giving the gift of food, and if it can be made a little bit healthier and packaged up in a cute way, well, that’s even better in my book!

I was thinking about gifts in jars, and I realized that a nice warm breakfast on a cold winter morning would be a welcome gift. So I made up a recipe for Cranberry Almond Steel Cut Oatmeal. It couldn’t be any easier…steel cut oats, cinnamon, cranberries, almonds, and ground flax seed layered in a jar, tied up with some twine and labeled with these free printable labels I made. Gift giving made easy and healthy and tasty!

    Such a simple and lovely idea. It’s great to be able to make breakfast really fast in the morning, but prepackaged oat mixes are always loaded with sugar. I like the combination you have used of cranberries and almonds – will have to try it out.

      Thanks, Glenda! Yes, those packaged mixes are awfully sugary!
