Steel Cut Oatmeal with Bananas & Cobbler Topping

by Erin

After my trip to Trader Joe’s this past weekend, I have successfully inhaled three of their dark chocolate peanut butter filled cupcakes. The fourth I reluctantly decided to share with my labmates before I ended up finishing it off myself. But those three cupcakes are still sitting not-so-pretty in my belly so it’s time for some oatmeal! Because healthy things negate bad calories, right? Which is why I will later eat some s’mores cookie dough bites for dessert O:-).

I’m trying to eat more oatmeal and am always looking for ways to jazz it up so as not to suffer from oatmeal-fatigue. This looks fabulous! I love the topping.
