Bananas Foster Oatmeal

I can’t wait to curl up on the couch with a bowl of this oatmeal this evening!

Ingredients for 4 servings:

3 cups water
1½ cups milk
1 cup steel cut oats

4 Tablespoons light butter

1/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
2 bananas, sliced
2 Tablespoons walnuts

Directions:

Boil the water in a medium saucepan. Add in the milk and then the oats. Stir and let boil until thickened (about 3-4 minutes). Reduce the heat to low and simmer-uncovered- for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

In a large skillet, melt the butter and then add the brown sugar, vanilla and cinnamon. Stir and then add the bananas and walnuts. Cook for a few minutes until the bananas and walnuts are well coated and then spoon a serving of oatmeal into a bowl. Add a spoonful of the banana walnut mixture over the top.
