January is Oats Month, and Metz Culinary Management (Metz) has announced a flavorful partnership with Quaker Oats for an exclusive “Oats Your Way” promotion. Running throughout the month, this initiative highlights the versatility and health benefits of oatmeal, inviting guests to discover creative and delicious ways to enjoy this nutritious grain.
Metz is encouraging its corporate, K-12, higher education and healthcare divisions to showcase a variety of tasty oatmeal-based dishes. Featured offerings will include:
- Hot Oatmeal: Warm, comforting bowls perfect for chilly mornings
- Overnight Oats: Soaked overnight in the refrigerator, a convenient, ready-to-eat option packed with flavor and nutrition with options like Banana Bread and Mixed Berry/Almond
- Build-Your-Own Oatmeal Bars: Interactive stations where guests customize their oatmeal with an array of toppings and mix-ins
Each Overnight Oats recipe begins with a wholesome base of Old-Fashioned Quaker Oats, combined with oat milk, sugar, and chia seeds. From there, the possibilities are endless, allowing each kitchen to tailor its offerings to meet the tastes and preferences of its audience.
“We are thrilled to partner with Quaker Oats to celebrate Oats Month during January and bring the goodness of oatmeal to our communities,” said Maureen Metz, Metz Executive Vice President. “This promotion allows our chefs to create a variety of delicious and nutritious dishes for our guests to enjoy.”
Oatmeal is renowned for its health benefits, including being a great source of fiber, supporting heart health, and providing sustained energy. The “Oats Your Way” promotion aligns with Metz’s dedication to promoting wellness and sustainability in dining now and throughout the year.
