❤️Many health food stores and Amazon carry apple juice-sweetened dried cranberries. Most commercial dried cranberries contain a lot of added refined sugar so choose wisely and/or be aware of what you really want to use here.

You could also dry your own cranberries using fresh organic cranberries. There are many recipes online for drying cranberries in your oven for food dehydrator.

🍯Sweetness factor is a very personal taste preference, so you may want to use more or less raw honey or maple syrup, depending on YOUR family’s specific taste preferences.

When you make something this delicious, you will want something just as delicious to spread it on. I personal like these recipes: Cinnamon Roll Pancakes, Good Morning Oatmeal Waffles, Valentine’s Oatmeal Pancakes.
