Would fresh cranberries work or are they just too tart? Would they cook through if I did use them?
I do not care for eggnog. Any substitute?
Sheryl you can substitute for any milk product, almond milk, or coconut milk! Enjoy and Happy Crocking!

What is steel-cut oats?
Hello! Steel Cut Oats are a better alternative as their grains are inherently full of nutritional value and are high in B-vitamins, calcium, protein and fiber while low in salt and unsaturated fat. One cup of steel-cut oatmeal contains 8 g of insoluble fiber. You can also find them in Gluten-Free for those that need it. Steel Cut Oats are a little more expensive, but well worth the cost for health reasons.
