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.
