Banana-walnut steel cut oatmeal

Here's one of our favorite breakfast treats to enjoy to get our day started off right. You'll be more than satisfied until lunchtime. Most of the cook time is hands-off, so you can have it simmering while you get ready in the morning. Steel cut oats, also known as Irish oats, do take a while to cook, but their slightly chewy texture is well-worth the extra time and effort. All that's left to do is stir in the bananas, brown sugar, butter, vanilla extract, and low-fat milk. For less intense banana flavor, you can chop the bananas instead of mashing them.
