    Loved how it turned out and a delicious way to eat steel cut oats. The recipe makes one serving, and it is very filling for a mid-day snack. I used 2 dates in the mash and one date to top, and that was a good amount of sweetness.

    I loved this! So banana-ey and whileit make a bit more time to make vs regular oatmeal, i think it made a very good bowl of one. I didnt have steel cut oats, only quick cooking ones and it still turned out good

    This is outstanding! I used oat milk and couldn’t resist adding 1 t ground cardamom and 1/2 t cinnamon to the tripled recipe. I find steel-cut oats reheat well, and this was no exception.

    Last time I made this it was way too sweet for me. This time I decided to use only two dates and the banana was just ripe, so not too sweet. Both of these factors made it less sweet, which was good. I also added a pinch of salt to counteract the sweetness and add a bit of depth. I like that the steel cut oats don’t fully turn to mush and this porridge is creamy with a bit of bite. I like the porridge better this time, but not so much that I would make again. It’s a bit time consuming for breakfast and I find it pretty one note.
