Easy Cranberry Bliss Oatmeal recipe. This dessert is like your favourite Starbucks treat, but in breakfast form!
Is this oatmeal giving you some serious winter vibes right now?
One of my favourite treats from Starbucks is their Cranberry Bliss Bars. But for some reason, that season is so short. Why don’t they sell it year round? I would definitely buy it at least once a week, and I know other people feel the same.
So here I am. Recreating them, in oatmeal form.
This Cranberry Bliss Oatmeal brings me all the winter cozy feelings without having to put up with the weather. And it’s so easy too! All you need is:
- milk
- oats
- chia seeds (optional)
- white chocolate
- dried cranberries
- cream cheese
- butter
- powdered sugar
- vanilla extract
That’s it!
Okay, that may seem like a lot of ingredients for a morning oatmeal. But trust me. This one is so worth it.
This oatmeal kind of reminds me of the Cranberry White Chocolate Nutella Cookies that I made last month.
I’m really itching for the Christmas flavours lately if you can’t tell!
So while I wait for the Starbucks Cranberry Bliss Bars to be sold in stores, I will be making this oatmeal on repeat.
