Quaker Warm & Crunchy Granola: Heat & Eat!

Disclosure: We received a free product to help facilitate the review. All opinions stated are genuine and my own.  Bzz Agent post.

Add 1/4 c. milk, heat for 25 seconds, and voila'!
Quaker Warm & Crunchy Granola really is delicious!

I'm all for trying new things for breakfast, and warm oatmeal with a crunch? Yeah, that's right up my alley. Add Cranberries and Almonds and it doesn't get much better than that for me.  So, this morning, for breakfast, we had Quaker Warm & Crunchy Granola: Cranberry Almond. It was goooood!! I love that it warm, little man loved that it resembled cereal, and everyone in the house loved the flavor!!

A lot of times breakfast food leaves you only very temporarily satisfied, and then you're looking at the clock, waiting for lunch time to kick in.  Not so with this Warm & Crunchy Granola.  It gives you that warm satisfying feel of oatmeal (you feel pleasantly, not overly full), and that sticks with you for quite a long time!!  I had my bowl 3+ hours ago and I still feel pleasantly full.  It's nice that it's warm too...a great way to get a warm breakfast in the kids without taking up a lot of time (25 seconds to heat & eat is fast!).

I support this product completely, and we will definitely be trying the other flavors. It's warm, but still crunchy, fast to make, full of good-for-you ingredients, and it's delicious. What's not to love?  Quaker also makes this in Apple Cinnamon and Honey Almond flavors.

You can learn more about the Warm & Crunchy Granola by visiting the Quaker website.  You can also follow along on Facebook, G+,  and/or Twitter.

  1. I'm confused... is it cereal/granola or oatmeal? Seems like it behaves like both. good for cold mornings.

  2. Oatmeal is something I love! I'm hating that I can't eat it right now. We're slowing adding some foods back into our diet. Someday I'll eat it again. Yummy!

  19. I cannot handle straight oatmeal - I always have to add fruit or syrup to mine. I'd like to try this though, since it already has some additional flavors in it!

  23. My children (years ago) hated plain oatmeal. With the new crunchy oatmeal, they (grownups) now love it. I wish there had been more options then. Dried cranberries and crunchy nuts were not found in the markets.

  41. I think that I would really like this. I am not a huge fan of hot oatmeal because it's too mushy. The crunch would be awesome.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I have actually had the Cranberry Almond Crunchy granola that you reviewed and I agree - it's very delicious AND filling. I am usually crashing around 10am needing something to pick me up until lunch time but on the days I eat this cereal, it keeps me full longer. Thanks for your review!

  55. I am so addicted to my Quaker Oatmeal with apples and cinnamon I am not ready to give it up even if they come out with a new product. It has been my favorite for over a year! Maybe my boys would like this, they are not as crazy about oatmeal as I am .

  70. This looks so good and I'm sure my oldest would LOVE it. In school they were talking about their favorite cereals and her favorite is the kind she only gets at my Mom's house 5 hours away, but she couldn't remember what it was called and told her teacher that she was sure I didn't know and her Grandma lives too far away to call. When I heard that, I asked her to describe it to me. It's granola. Mama knows everything, she should know that by now.
