Raspberry Banana Steel Cut Oatmeal

April 15, 2015

I feel like every food blogger should have a couple good oatmeal recipes on their blog. Currently I only have one– my Peaches & Cream Cheese Oatmeal Bake that I’ve made a couple times for brunches. It’s old-fashioned oats, cream cheese, and chopped fresh peaches, baked and served warm. It’s very delicious– but very high in calories and takes a long time to prepare!

Steel cut oats are probably my favorite way to eat oatmeal. I grew up eating instant oatmeal out of packets– the maple brown sugar ones. They’d always spill out of the bowl while cooking (biggest pet peeve ever??) and the instant packets are high in added sugars. 

Steel cut is more like a porridge– creamy, smooth, and tastes great with so many toppings. Even though it does take 20 minutes to cook, it lasts for days in the fridge without losing its texture! There’s so many benefits of including oats in your diet. When I eat oatmeal for breakfast I tend to eat better throughout the day. That’s satiety for ya!

This recipe is easy and OMG good. Steel cut oats are cooked in milk, and mashed bananas, raspberries, honey and vanilla are stirred in at the end. It’s creamy, banana-y, sweet, and so filling. Just one cup of these oats and I’m good until lunch!

    Yum! I love steel cut oats! You can’t get them where I live, so I always bring them back with me when I go home for a visit and then ration them out slowly, so they’re such a treat. I think this recipe deserves some of my precious stash, I’m pinning to make this weekend!
