The flax seed meal adds nuttiness, crunch, and even more nutrition. Ingredients:
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt |
about 1 1/2 tbsp. roasted pecan oil* or other nut oil, divided |
1/2 cup steel-cut oatmeal, such as mccann's irish |
2 tablespoons flax seed meal |
1 large or 2 small ripe (brown-flecked) bananas, sliced 1/4 in. thick |
about 1 1/2 tbsp. honey, divided |
2 tablespoons chopped toasted pecans |
Directions:
1. Boil 2 1/2 cups water in a saucepan. Stir in salt and 1/2 tbsp. oil, then oats. Cook, stirring, until oats start to thicken and look creamy, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until oats are thick and very creamy, 20 to 25 minutes. Stir in flax seed meal.
2. Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp. oil in a nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add bananas and cook until translucent at edges, about 3 minutes. Flip with a spatula, drizzle with 1 tbsp. honey, and cook until soft and lightly browned, about 1 minute more.
3. Stir 1/2 tbsp. honey into oatmeal. Pour into 2 bowls; stir in more oil and some nuts. Top with bananas and more pecans.
4. *Find nut oil and flax seed meal at natural-foods and well-stocked grocery stores.
