If like me you are looking for ways to not use prepackaged oatmeal full of artificial or suspect ingredients you may like this recipe!  I love that I do not add any sugar except for the natural sugars in the bananas.  I always have 2 eggs over easy with my serving of oats.  I make enough on Sunday or first thing Monday morning to have all week.

Peanut Butter Banana Steel Cut Oats

• 1/2 cup Steal Cut Oats, organic when possible
• 2 cups water or almond milk
• 2 bananas, chopped or mashed
• 4 tsp peanut butter

Follow the direction on your container of oats- this ratio of oats:liquids yields me five 1/2 cup servings.  Once you are simmering the oats that is when I stir in the bananas and peanut butter.  I chop my bananas- I like to have “chunks” of bananas in the finished product.

That’s it!  There are like a million ways to have you steel cut oats, but this is one of my favorites!

Why steel cut and quick oats?  Steel cut oats are less processed.  I also prefer the texture.  As long as you are not adding sugar and “junk” to your oats you should eat which ever one you prefer.
