Directions for Banana Bread Oatmeal

We eat oatmeal every morning, so we have quite a few recipes. Here is one of our favorites.

Ensure you coat your slow cooker with oil to prevent the oatmeal from adhering.

Load in the steel-cut oats.

Add in the water and salt. I use a smart plug to turn on the crock in the middle of the night.

Wake up to fully cooked oatmeal.

In the morning, smash up a ripe banana. The longer you let it ripen, the sweeter it gets. Throw it into the crock pot with the cooked oatmeal.

Add in cinnamon, brown sugar, and vanilla. Mix it all and serve.

I like to add mini chocolate chips but feel free to add walnuts. (I’m allergic! So that is a big no thanks!)

Until next time,
