This is what I wrote about this steel cut oatmeal recipe back in 2015;
When I saw Cookin Canuck‘s recipe for Baked Steel Cut Oatmeal with Tart Cherries and Pepitas, I knew in a flash I had to make it.
I even tweeted Dara (or was it a Facebook comment?) telling her how good it looked, and that I’d printed it and put it on my list to make ASAP.
A mere few days later had me whipping up Dara’s baked steel cut oatmeal in my Kudos Kitchen but naturally, I needed to put my spin on it to make it my own.
Since I had walnuts in my freezer, bananas on my counter, and raisins in my pantry, I ran with it and made this Baked Steel Cut Oatmeal recipe with bananas, walnuts, and raisins, and I’m including a wink and a nod to Dara.
The health benefits of eating steel cut oats;
- Steel cut oats are much higher in fiber than rolled or quick oats which makes them better for eliminating waste from the body.
- They have a low glycemic index which helps to minimize spikes in blood sugar levels.
- They’re naturally gluten-free.
- Steel cut oats are a good source of iron. Iron is a component of hemoglobin which travels through the bloodstream and helps deliver oxygen to the body’s organs and tissues.
As if all of that is not enough…
The texture of this baked steel cut oatmeal is truly incredible. I love the heartiness that each spoonful transports to my waiting taste buds and hungry tummy knowing that both will be happy, and satisfied!
Plus, as a bonus, there will be no more of that pesky growling and grumbling from my stomach until lunchtime.
Serving suggestions;
I like to pour additional almond milk over the top of my baked steel cut oats before serving, along with a sprinkling of extra raisins, but you be the judge as to how you’re going to serve yours.
If you’re not serving a large family why not plan on making this steel cut oatmeal recipe early in the week (on or the weekend) and then you’ll have an easy no-fuss breakfast all week long.
How about topping it with some additional banana slices? Additional walnuts? A drizzle of maple syrup? Or what about my way with a bit more almond milk and a few extra raisins? Yes, please!! 🙂
How to make healthy baked steel cut oats;

I remember admiring Dara's recipe – and now your version looks equally good! Love the idea of having breakfast already made for the week too!
i love everything about this!!
These are exactly the kinds of flavors I like in my oats.
You either love or hate the heartiness of steel cut oats. It's much more filling and hefty than regular rolled oats but I love it just as much! Looks yummy!
I swear, baked oatmeal has been on my to-try list FOREVER! I need to get on it, because this sounds amazing (and I said the same to Dara – ha!). Awesome combo.
Why have I never made steel cut oatmeal before? Time to correct that, your recipe looks so gorgeous and delicious!
