How to Make Steel Cut Oatmeal With Maple Cream

  1. In a medium saucepan, bring 8 cups of water to a boil over high heat. Add 1 cup of steel-cut oats, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 25 minutes, or until oats are tender and creamy, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  2. While the oats are simmering, prepare the maple cream: In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of heavy cream and 1/4 cup of maple syrup.
  3. Bring the cream mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon of cornstarch and 1 teaspoon of water until smooth to create a slurry.
  5. Slowly whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering cream mixture.
  6. Continue to simmer, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes, or until the cream has thickened to your desired consistency.
  7. Divide the cooked steel-cut oats among bowls.
  8. Top each serving with a generous spoonful of the maple cream and sliced bananas, if desired.
