Baked Steel Cut Oatmeal
Description
This baked oatmeal recipe starts by mashing a ripe banana then mixing it with steel cut oats, chia seeds for thickening, maple syrup for sweetness, melted coconut oil, cinnamon, vanilla, salt, and almond milk for moisture. Half of the chopped pecans are incorporated into the mixture, and the rest plus sliced banana go on top before baking.
Baked in the oven until golden and cooked through, the steel cut oats soften while maintaining a slight chew. The chia seeds help hold the mixture together, and the flavors meld into a comforting blend of sweet banana, spices, and nutty pecans. The coconut oil adds richness and a subtle tropical note.
This oatmeal is easy to prepare the night before and bake in the morning or bake ahead and reheat leftovers. Its texture is creamy with a slight bite from the steel cut oats and nuts. It makes for a filling and flavorful breakfast suitable for sharing or meal prep.
