This isn’t just any old oatmeal. It’s like having dessert for breakfast. This recipe has got toasty nuts, sweet banana, rich cocoa and just enough chocolate chips to give you both healthy and sweet fix at the same time.

This was great.. Will probably make again
I prefer the texture of steel cut oats to rolled oats. If I were to substitute SCOs, what ratios should I use and what time differences should I be prepared to make? Thanks, anyone, for advice.
This oatmeal was so yummy and filling! It fed 5 of us and we couldn’t eat it all. Perfect for a winter morning!
Yummy and easy! I love the almond extract in it and, as another reviewer did, I added a little extra sweetener(monk fruit). Great idea to add toasted coconut as well.
Delicious! Quick and easy. Only change was a personal preference. I added a 1/4 c of splenda for a little more sweetness. Very excited to try with different fruits especially blueberries or strawberries . Great recipe!
This will probably be a staple for the next month! Loveeee!
