Baked Banana Pecan Oatmeal
We love this oatmeal recipe. It's from the final issue of Everyday Food, Dec. 2012. I am very disappointed that this magazine has bit the dust. I loved it. I have every issue ever made and use them often.
We have made this oatmeal at least once a month this year.
Baked Banana Pecan Oatmeal
Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes + soaking
Yield Serves 4
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups steel-cut oats
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
2 tablespoons whole milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 firm-ripe bananas, sliced 1/4 inch thick on the diagonal
3 tablespoons packed dark-brown sugar, whisked to remove lumps
1/4 cup pecans, roughly chopped and toasted
Directions
In a medium pot, bring 4 1/2 cups water to a boil. Stir in oats and salt and cook 1 minute. Let cool, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
Bring oatmeal to a simmer over medium-high. Cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in milk and vanilla. Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate.
Heat broiler, with rack 4 inches from heat. Top oatmeal with bananas and brown sugar and broil until bananas are caramelized, 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle with pecans to serve.
Cook's Note
Soaking steel-cut oats overnight shortens cooking time in the morning. A sprinkle of sugar and a pass under the broiler give this dish a caramelized top layer.
