Quaker’s Better Together With Milk & Tweet For a Cause #Ad #BetterTogether

Disclosure:  I received samples and compensation in exchange for sharing my honest opinion and this information.

As a child, my mom always used milk when serving us oatmeal but in college I got used to using water because it was cheaper and easier.  Then one day as an adult I wondered why I was still using water when I had five gallons of milk in my fridge (yeah with three kids we go through a lot of milk!)  That day I switched back to making my oatmeal with milk and I havne’t looked back since.  Using milk adds protein, potassium, vitamins D, A and B12, which you don’t get if you just use water.  Its a win-win by using milk not only do I get a breakfest full of nutirents, but a delicious one at that!

In addition to just using Quaker Oats for oatmeal, you can also use Quaker oats in a variety of dishes!  I actually use Quaker Oats in a bunch of recipes but none of them use Oats and Milk.  So I decided to find a recipe that uses both ingrediants to make a delicous but still healthy snack for my family.

3 Minute No Bake Cookies

Ingredients:

  • 2 Cups granulated sugar
  • 8 Tablespoons (1 stick) margarine or butter
  • 1/2 Cups Milk
  • 1/3 Cups baking cocoa
  • 3 Cups Quaker® Oats (quick or old fashioned, uncooked)

Directions:

  • In large saucepan, combine sugar, margarine, milk and cocoa. Bring to boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Continue boiling 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Remove from heat. Stir in oats.  (If using old fashioned oats, cool mixture in saucepan 5 minutes.)
  • Drop by tablespoonfuls onto waxed paper. Let stand until firm. Store tightly covered.  They will be gooey, but they are so good!

My kids were so excited to have this chocolate treat, little did they know that they were made with oatmeal!  They were so good, my family requested them again!  With just a few ingredients they are super easy to make and a chocolate treat I don’t feel guilty feeding my kids!  I found this recipe on the Quaker website and there are more inspiring ideas at:  http://bit.ly/QuakerBT
To help other families get the nutritious meals they deserve, Quaker has teamed up with The Kroger Co. Family of Stores to donate $25,000 to Feeding America!  You can show your support by tweeting a picture of your family enjoying Quaker and milk to @Quaker with the hashtag #BetterTogether.
