Overnight Slow Cooker Steel Cut Oats with Banana

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 cups

steel cut oats (do not substitute quick cooking, instant, or rolled oats), gluten free if needed

4 cups

water

2 cups

milk, any kind you like (I used skim)

large mashed ripe bananas, plus additional banana slices for serving

3 tbsp

ground flaxseed meal*

2 tsp

pure vanilla extract

1 1/2 tsp

ground cinnamon

1/2

teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg (it’s an amazing flavor upgrade to grate your own nutmeg. I use this zester to do it.)

1/2 tsp

kosher salt

For serving: chopped toasted walnuts, raisins, chocolate chips, maple syrup, peanut butter, or any other mix-ins you enjoy with banana bread
