Description

If oatmeal was ever a show stopper… If your appetite generally isn’t turned on by the idea of oatmeal, it’s probably because you’ve had a sketchy history with the quick-cooking kind…or with the gloppy, instant, packaged version that masquerades itself as oatmeal. It isn’t. Give this dish a whirl; I guarantee that a kitchen torch will become synonymous with your favorite breakfast dish.

Ingredients

  • 1-½ cup Water
  • ½ cups Steel Cut Oats
  • 3 Tablespoons Sugar Free Orange Marmalade - Alternatively Add Zest And Juice Of One Orange
  • 3 Tablespoons Brown Sugar, Divided Use
  • ¼ teaspoons Ground Cardamom
  • ¼ teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 whole Banana
  • Optional Garnish: Craisins/dried Cranberries Or Toasted Nuts

Preparation

Bring water to a rolling boil in small to medium saucepan. Add oats then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook undisturbed for 30 minutes.

Stir in marmalade, 1 Tablespoon of brown sugar, cardamom and cinnamon. Spoon equal portions into two dishes.

Slice banana and divide evenly between bowls. Sprinkle each with a heaping tablespoon of brown sugar. This ain’t the place for the fake kind of sugar people. (READ: Splenda is not welcomed here.) Use the dark brown, caramel-ey molasses-tasting stuff if you’ve got it. And if you’re planning on running a few extra laps later, add a little extra.

Enter the kitchen torch, also known as a brulee gun. If you don’t yet own one, you should REALLY pick one up. Turn it on, and slowly run the flame over the sugared bananas until they’re golden and caramelized. I love sprinkling the whole dish with some Craisins and toasted nuts. Cheers!

Wow. I mean…wow. I love oatmeal. I would trade a piece of chocolate cake for a bowl of this. That’s how good it looks. Can’t wait to try it. Thanks!

So good! We made this for a lazy Sunday morning, hubby originally balked at the idea of waiting 30+ minutes to eat, but I think everyone was more than pleased with the results. =) Hubby, 4 year old son, and I all enjoyed every bite. Went with the orange zest and juice and the total flavor combos were really better than I anticipated (I was tempted just to use some other jelly to sub for the marmalade we didn’t have). Does it take substitutions and alterations well though, for the future? I’m hoping so, in times when we don’t have these exact ingredients on hand. Wonderful recipe!

My husband and I love steel cut oats, but get bored with the same ole’ thing. This is definitely not boring!!! We loved it and the caramelized sugar on the top was such a great change. We have used this exact recipe and we have switched out for different fruit choices. Love it all! Thanks for the ideas!
