Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time5 minutes
Total Time10 minutes
Servings: 1 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups water or milk
  • 1 cup Quaker Old-Fashioned Oats (quick 1-minute oats)
  • pinch salt optional and to taste
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons brown sugar optional and to taste
  • 1/2 medium banana peeled and sliced into thin rounds
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter melted if desired
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate arils, strawberries, blueberries, or other favorite fruit any one may be substituted
  • 1 Quaker Chewy Chocolate Strawberries Granola Bar diced small

Instructions

  • Combine the water or milk and bring to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
  • Stir in the oats and an optional pinch of salt, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook about 5 minutes until the oats are tender and most liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in the optional brown sugar to taste, if using.
  • Transfer the cooked oatmeal to a bowl.
  • Top with the sliced banana, fruit (pomegranate arils, strawberries, or blueberries), and diced granola bar pieces.
  • Drizzle the peanut butter over the bowl; warm the peanut butter briefly in a microwave-safe bowl for 8–10 seconds to thin it if desired.
  • Serve immediately while the oatmeal is warm.

Equipment

  • Medium Saucepan
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Notes

  • Use milk instead of water for creamier oatmeal.
  • Adjust brown sugar to taste or omit for less sweetness.
  • Warm peanut butter briefly to make it easier to drizzle.
  • Substitute any berries or fruit in place of pomegranate arils.
