Today I have another delicious baked oatmeal for you and it is perfect for a holiday breakfast.
Last year I shared my double chocolate baked oatmeal for the holidays, so this year I thought I would make a baked oatmeal for the holidays that was slightly healthier.
I love the combination of orange and cranberries this time of year, so it seemed like a perfect fit for a baked oatmeal.
I think it would be fun to make both the double chocolate and this orange cranberry baked oatmeal for Christmas breakfast. They can both be made the night before and placed in the refrigerator overnight. Then all you have to do is place them in the oven in the morning and you will have a fun and festive breakfast.
Now, I will admit, some in my family think that this version is better with chocolate, after all, chocolate makes everything better. I have made it both with the chocolate and without, and they are both very good.
So, if you want to make a chocolate orange cranberry baked oatmeal, stir in about 3/4 cup of chocolate chips into the batter before baking.

I love to cook and bake, and it is a good thing, because my family loves to eat. I live with my husband and three kids on 43 acres in Northeastern Oklahoma. Between homeschooling, helping in my husband’s dental office, working on our property, taking care of three dogs, and raising hogs as a side job/hobby, I am constantly on the go like most of you.
i usually make a plain baked oatmeal & top it with craisins, so i love the idea of putting them in it!
yum.
Awesome recipe, Lynn! I love this idea of orange cranberry; that combo has to be great! I shared a gingerbread baked oatmeal today — great minds think alike.
I saw your version earlier today and it looks so good! I love the gingerbread idea.
our family loves your baked oatmeal! Do you have an e-book yet with all the oatmeal recipes? love to print them out and have them all in one book! Thanks for sharing. Off to check out the gingerbread baked oatmeal now!
