The healthiest oatmeal is made with steel-cut oats. It takes longer to cook, but you'll get the most beneficial micronutrients and fiber. The best way to cook this porridge is to load the slow cooker overnight, so you'll have delicious, aromatic, hot oatmeal waiting for you in the morning. Add the steel-cut oats to the slow cooker along with some overripe bananas, cinnamon, and a pinch of nutmeg. Bananas add just the right amount of sweetness, making them a great alternative to refined sugar. The spices complement the banana flavor perfectly. Serve the finished porridge with any toppings you like: nuts, fresh fruit and berries, dried fruit, milk, or yogurt.
