Ingredients

scaled from 4 servings
  • 3/4 cup steel-cut oats
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 1 1/2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup walnut halves
  • 2, sliced bananas
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tsp total salt and cinnamon

Method (tap to check — screen stays awake)

  1. Toast the oats in the butter in a saucepan for 3 minutes until they smell like popcorn and turn a shade darker.
  2. Add the milk, 2 cups water, the cinnamon and a big pinch of salt, and bring to a simmer, stirring so nothing catches on the bottom.
  3. Cook uncovered at a lazy bubble for 25 minutes, stirring every few minutes, until the grains are tender and the pot is thick enough to hold a spoon upright.
  4. Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet for 4 minutes until fragrant, then chop them.
  5. Stir the cream and half the brown sugar into the oats and let them sit 3 minutes to thicken further.
  6. Spoon into bowls and top with sliced banana, walnuts and the remaining brown sugar.
