This round up of 50 healthy breakfast recipes will give you some new ideas for your morning routine. These Steel Cut Oats with Bananas are one of my favorite breakfast recipes. Who knew something as humble and nourishing as steel cut oats could seem so decadent? I love the way the crunchy coconut chips and walnuts play against the creamy banana and oats.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups water
- 1 cup steel cut oats (Irish Oatmeal)
- generous pinch salt
- 1 cup light coconut milk, stirred
- 1/4 cup plus 4 teaspoons very dark maple syrup, divided
- 2 bananas, sliced
- 1/4 cup coconut chips, toasted
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
Instructions
- Bring water to a boil in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over high heat. Add oats and salt and return to a simmer, stirring often. Reduce heat to medium-low or to maintain a gentle simmer, and cook, undisturbed until the water is absorbed, 23 to 25 minutes. Stir in coconut milk and ¼ cup maple syrup, increase heat to medium-high and return to a simmer, stirring often. Cook, stirring often over medium-low until the oatmeal is no longer watery, but still loose, 9 to 12 minutes. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
- Layer oats, bananas, coconut and walnuts into 4 bowls and drizzle each with the remaining maple syrup.
- Cook Time: 20 minutes
