Oatmeal is hearty, filling, and there’s so many ways to make it new again. Get ready for a breakfast that’ll help prepare you to take on the day. There’s texture and flavor galore including bananas drizzled with melted peanut butter and a touch of cinnamon, fresh and juicy pomegranate arils, and a diced Quaker Chewy Granola Bar with chocolate and strawberries. The toppings can be swapped for what you have on hand and enjoy.

Instructions
Add the water (or milk) to a medium pot and heat over medium-high heat until it boils.
Add the oats, optional salt, and cook for about 5 minutes or until water is absorbed and oatmeal is tender; stir intermittently.
Optionally add the brown sugar and stir to combine.
Transfer oatmeal to a bowl and top with the banana, drizzle with peanut butter (heat peanut butter in a small, microwave-safe bowl for 8 to 10 seconds to melt it if desired), and add the pomegranate arils, granola bar pieces, and serve immediately. Oatmeal is best warm and fresh.
