I am definitely not one of those people who can skip breakfast! I need a wholesome breakfast in the mornings to get me through the day. And when it comes to delicious, satisfying breakfasts, nothing compares to a nice, hearty bowl of Quaker® Oats! It’s one of my favorite go-to breakfast options! Today, I am sharing with you the recipe for an Exotic Oatmeal Breakfast. This is a truly delicious flavor profile, featuring many of the flavors popular in Middle Eastern desserts, such as rose water, pistachios, dates & honey.

My recipe for the “Bring Your Best Bowl” promotion was inspired by many visits as a young child with my parents to Middle Eastern restaurants! There were several restaurants that come to mind, but the food was always the same (and so, so delicious). We usually enjoyed some hummus as our appetizer. As main courses, I remember so many delicious falafels, shish kabobs, chicken shawarmas, and so much more! And then the desserts… oh, the desserts were divine! Some of my favorite desserts of all time involved many of the ingredients that I incorporated in my Exotic Oatmeal: chopped pistachios, chopped dates, honey and some rose water. In case you’ve never heard of it, rose water is a water made by steeping rose petals and is used to flavor desserts! When using rose water for desserts, please remember that a little goes a long way. Don’t add too much or it will overpower your dish!

Here’s my recipe for Exotic Breakfast Oatmeal!

I love that this oatmeal can be made in the microwave or on the stove top. It only takes about 5 minutes to prepare this delicious breakfast.

I like to take about half of each of my toppings and add them to my oatmeal while it’s still in the pot on the stove. This incorporates all the toppings nicely and also warms them up!
