CRANBERRY APPLE OATMEAL MIX!! BREAKFAST GIFT IN A JAR!!

Today we are sharing another gift in a jar. Something a bit different from the cookies and brownies we have been sharing. This one is a breakfast gift in a jar! This cranberry apple oatmeal mix is a delicious alternative filled with whole grain goodness and the sweetness of dried fruit! This one is perfect for those on your list who like to be healthy but this is also a great treat! Simple to make for the recipient and easy to make for you! This one is definitely a keeper!

We are using a quart jar, just like all the rest of the mixes we have made. The difference with this mix is that we are not going to be layering the ingredients. These will all be well blended together and just popped right in the jar. This helps with the making of the end result. Because if you were to layer everything in the end user needs to dump it in a bowl and mix it up for themselves. Not a really nice thing to ask. So we will do it for them and save them the trouble.

This all starts off with some whole grain goodness. Whole, old fashioned oats are recommended here to give this recipe the best result try not to use quick or instant oats. Adding in brown sugar, dried or freeze dried apples, dried cranberries and cinnamon, allspice and salt. Don't leave out the salt. In the end it gives great flavor and since oats are very bland this will brighten things up a bit.

I like to mix the spices with the oats to start off. Giving everything a good mix. This helps with those fine ground items getting blended thoroughly before adding the rest. Then everything else goes in. Be sure to stir this for a while because incorporation is the key. You want to make sure there are no large lumps of brown sugar and you want to ensure good distribution of all the ingredients.

Now all you need to do is put this into your jar. Be sure to tap, tap, tap to settle as you go so all the ingredients will fit. As will see this recipe fits perfectly into that size jar. If you are not keen on giving gifts in jars this year, this mix is the perfect answer because there is no layering. This can be given in a recycled, washed and cleaned jar for which you have spray or sponge painted the jar lid. You can easily give this in an appropriately sized cellophane bag tied with a cute bow and slipped into a kraft gift bag for easy transport. Be sure to include the preparation tags that are included with the printable recipe. A link to which you will find at the end of this description box or pinned a the top of the comment section below the video.

These oatmeal mixes are versatile. If you don't want apples and cranberries, you can easily make this in a lot of different configurations. Peaches and cream, blueberries and cream, strawberries and cream using freeze dried fruits and the addition of 1/2 cup of instant creamer powder. instead of the nuts and some of the fruits. You can use banana chips and walnuts or dried cherries and chocolate chips. The possibilities are endless here. Make this your own and put your own stamp on it! In the end everyone will love getting a gift that they don't have to dust or make room for.

I hope that you give this cranberry apple oatmeal mix, breakfast gift in a jar a try this holiday season or anytime you want a quick and delicious gift to give from your kitchen and from your heart! I hope you love it!

Happy Eating!
