A perfect recipe for brunch. I use a rice maker to cook, then keep the oats warm until I’m ready to serve. That means I can prepare other dishes without having to constantly stir the pot. Well, at least not this pot anyway.

2 Parts Steel Cut Oats* see note
4 Parts Water
Salt-Just a Pinch
1/3 Cup Almond Butter, Cashew Butter or Peanut Butter
1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
3 Tablespoons Brown Sugar (optional)
1/3 Cup Slivered Almonds
2 Bananas, Diced

*I use the quick cooking oats. They take about 20 minutes in a rice cooker, or 5-7 minutes stovetop. Place the oats, water and pinch of salt into the rice cooker or a pot on the stovetop. Once cooked, add the nut butter of your choice, cinnamon and brown sugar and blend. Scoop into 4-6 small servings or 4 healthy size serving and garnish with diced bananas and slivered almonds. If you opted not to add in the brown sugar, you can sprinkle some over the finished servings or drizzle with honey.
