Sweet Oatmeal Heaven!

This is a decadent oatmeal treat. It is very sweet, so if you don't like strong sweetness, cut back on the sugar content.

Serves one or two. If serving two, double the oats and water, then split the topping between the two bowls.

1/3 cup steel cut oats
1 cup water, milk, or milk substitute
1/4 cup raisins, or any of your favorite dried fruit
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg

1 Tbsp butter (I use Smart Balance, which is dairy-free)
1-2 Tbsp brown sugar
1/3 cup pecans or walnuts, roughly chopped

1. In a saucepan, bring the water or milk to a boil add oats.
2. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer covered for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Mix in raisins, cinnamon, nutmeg and 1/3 sliced banana.

4. Simmer uncovered for an additional 5-10 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, melt butter and brown sugar together in a pan over medium heat.

6. Mix in nuts and remaining banana slices. Cook stirring regularly, 1 minute.
7. Serve oatmeal topped with banana pecan mixture.
