Ingredients

  • ½ cup steel cut oats
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 ripe banana sliced
  • 2 medjool dates chopped
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼-½ teaspoon sea salt
  • almond butter chopped dates, chia seeds and hemp seeds (for topping)

Instructions

  • Place oats and water into a saucepan and bring to a boil, watching carefully so the water doesn’t boil over. Turn down heat quickly and allow the oats to simmer for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Cover with a lid and let stand overnight at room temperature.
  • The next morning, uncover the saucepan and stir in banana slices, chopped dates, cinnamon and sea salt. Bring oats to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently until the oatmeal is cooked and creamy, about 5-7 minutes. Portion the oatmeal into bowls. Dress with toppings of choice. I used almond butter, chopped dates, chia seeds and hemp seeds.
