Fox 13's Amy Nay joined Smith's Chef Jeff Jackson in the kitchen to make Baked Steel Cut Oatmeal with Bananas, Pecans, and Golden Raisins along with Virgin Pineapple Sunrise Mimosas.
Baked Steel Cut Oatmeal, with Banana, Pecans, and Golden Raisins
Ingredients:
¾ c. steel cut oats 1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. baking powder 1 large egg
1 tsp. salt 2 very ripe bananas, mashed
1 tsp. cinnamon 2 tbsp. butter, melted
¼ tsp. nutmeg 1 c. pecans, chopped
2 ½ c. milk 1 c. golden raisins
½ c. maple syrup
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375. Spray an 8x8 baking dish with non-stick spray and set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the oats, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add in the pecans and golden raisins, stir to combine and set aside.
3. In another mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, butter, maple syrup, vanilla, and bananas.
4. Pour the milk mixture over the oat mixture and stir to combine.
5. Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish than put in the oven and bake 55-60 minutes or until the oats have browned and it set in the middle.
6. Remove from the oven and serve in bowls. I like to add a little more milk to my personal serving and maybe add a few fresh sliced bananas or a drizzle of maple syrup on top. Enjoy.
