This post is in partnership with The Quaker Oats Company.

I absolutely love the way a warm bowl of oatmeal makes me feel – and I personally tend to be more full than if I eat a cold bowl of cereal or a granola bar. So, I created an awesome recipe that combines the warm and cozy feeling of a bowl of oatmeal, with just a hint of hazelnut coffee! Below, you will find out how you could have the chance to see your very own oatmeal flavor in stores, and win big.

Oatmeal is incredibly versatile, and I found a way to enhance it! I created a recipe that adds the flavor and aroma of coffee, and a dash of Hazelnut. It’s so easy, with hardly any prep work.

Better yet, Quaker is offering one lucky winner $250,000 to create a flavor of your own! Enter your own submission for America’s next great oatmeal flavor, using 2-5 ingredients. It’s that simple! Let your imagination run wild.

As a consumer, you probably already know what you want, so let’s share that with the world.

Just think - you could have your new flavor on shelves across the whole country!
