Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup water or milk
  • 1 cup Quaker Old-Fashioned Oats (Quick 1-Minute Oats)
  • 1 pinch salt optional and to taste
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons brown sugar optional and to taste
  • 1 medium banana (peeled and sliced into thin rounds)
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter (melted if desired)
  • 1 cup pomegranate arils, strawberries, blueberries (or your favorite fruit)
  • 1 bar Quaker Chewy Chocolate Strawberries Granola Bar (diced small)

Equipment

  • Medium Saucepan
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Serving Bowl

Method
 

  1. In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup of water or milk to a gentle boil. Stir in 1 cup of Quaker Old-Fashioned Oats and a pinch of salt if desired. Reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer for about 1 minute, stirring occasionally until the oats are creamy and cooked through.
  2. Once cooked, remove the saucepan from heat. If you like a touch of sweetness, stir in 2 to 3 tablespoons of brown sugar to taste. Mix it well until the sugar is fully dissolved.
  3. While the oats are cooking, slice your banana into thin rounds and set them aside. If you prefer your peanut butter melted, pop it in the microwave for a few seconds until it’s nice and gooey.
  4. Scoop the cooked oatmeal into a serving bowl. Drizzle the melted peanut butter over the top, followed by the sliced bananas. Scatter your choice of fruits, be it pomegranate arils, strawberries, or blueberries, generously over the oats.
  5. Finally, sprinkle the diced Quaker Chewy Chocolate Strawberries Granola Bar on top for an extra crunch and a delightful chocolatey finish.
  6. Grab a spoon, and dig into your Loaded Oatmeal Breakfast Bowl. Each bite is a harmonious blend of flavors and textures that will make your breakfast an experience to remember!
