    Fresh, tasty and with all the flavors of the Caribbean, this Piña Colada Oatmeal Bowl tastes just like the delicious beachy drink, minus the alcohol.

    Oatmeal -- One of the quickest, easier and most satisfying breakfasts you'll ever have. And their versatility is infinate. You can make any combination imaginable to make a completely different and unique breakfast every morning. Not to mention filling and delicious. I mean really, what is there not to love about oatmeal?

    This is why Quaker® Oats is one of those ingredients I got to have in my pantry at all time. Plus, did you know that Quaker® is hosting a national "Bring Your Best Bowl" contest where you can win $250,000? Yes. Simply enter a recipe of your best oatmeal for a chance to win!!!

    What would you do if you had an extra $250,000 in your bank account? ...I would take a vacation right now.

    This winter has gotten me a bit down and feeling like I much rather be in a Caribbean island somewhere, sucking in the sun and sipping on a sweet piña colada. Since Long Island is nowhere near the Caribbean and this cold, rainy winter weather is a bit depressing, I decided to cheer myself up by making a delicious bowl of oatmeal inspired by all the flavors of a sweet piña colada. Because really, dreaming of summery, happy drinks is one of my specialties.

    So, on my latest trip to Walmart, I grabbed myself some Quaker® Oats - Quick One Minute, coconut milk,  a can of pineapple chunks, coconut Greek yogurt, some coconut flakes and a small jar of maraschino cherries. All the ingredients needed to give my taste buds a small summer vacation. I cooked the oatmeal in coconut milk and added some pineapple pieces for sweetness. The oatmeal was topped with more pineapple pieces, a dollop of coconut Greek yogurt, toasted coconut flakes and a cherry on top for full aesthetic pleasure. 😉

    Now, you go. Make your most creative and tasty oatmeal. Your recipe bowl entries should have between 2 and 5 ingredients. Then, visit the National Sweepstakes Site to enter for a chance to inspire the next Quaker® Oatmeal flavor. Top recipe entries will be created and sold in stores for a limited time in Fall 2016.

    Come back and share your recipe. I'll love to see what creative ideas you come up with. Good luck!

    I’m a working mom, whose love for food led me to start this blog as a resource for other busy parents. I’m passionate about creating quick and easy versions of the recipes I grew up eating to share with busy parents who want to cook foods filled with Latin flavors that don’t take a ton of time to prepare.

    It is my mission to show you that you can make great flavorful dishes at home without spending the entire day in the kitchen.

      I made this a few days ago and I have a funny question. I used plain coconut Greek yogurt (as in Greek yogurt substitute made with coconuts) for this dish and it was delicious. But I got to thinking (in the shower, of course), did the recipe intend for coconut FLAVORED yogurt or coconut yogurt substitute?

      My boyfriend and I had a good laugh, but now we just have to know, which kind of coconut yogurt did you mean?

        Hi Blooper, it's funny you ask. I did mean coconut flavored yogurt, but I'm glad you enjoyed it either way. 🙂

      Craving a sweet, bursting-with-blueberries muffin, but in need of something a little more filling? This breakfast bowl is the best of both worlds!
