Making Banana Bread Steel-Cut Oatmeal

(scroll down to end of post for the full recipe!)

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • Ripe mashed banana
  • Steel-cut oats (do not substitute old-fashioned rolled oats or quick-cooking here)
  • Milk (non-dairy substitutes such as almond work also works great!)
  • Honey
  • Vanilla + ground cinnamon

Time You’ll Need

This oatmeal requires a 6-8 hour cook time on low in the crockpot.

Cooking it on low for a long time is key to getting a super creamy texture! Don’t be tempted to speed it up by cooking it on high.

Toppings for Oatmeal

There’s so many possibilities for topping this oatmeal! Several of our favorites include…

  • Dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, etc.)
  • Mini chocolate chips
  • A couple swirls of creamy peanut butter

The creamy, sweet banana flavors in this oatmeal is so incredible! We love loading these bowls up with all the toppings we can fit.

Make it the night before for a hot breakfast waiting for you the next morning OR make a big batch of it in the beginning of the week for reheating!

Enjoy the easiest oatmeal EVER thanks to your crockpot!!
