Ingredients

6 cups water

1 1/2 cups steel-cut oats

Kosher salt

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

1/4 cup dark brown sugar

4 medium ripe bananas , peeled and sliced

3/4 cup chopped walnuts

2 tablespoons peanut butter

Orange zest, for garnish

Ground cinnamon and nutmeg, for garnish

Directions

In a medium saucepan, combine water and oats and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally and adjusting heat to maintain simmer, until oats are fully cooked and oatmeal has thickened, about 20 minutes. Season with salt. Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat until foamy. Stir in brown sugar until dissolved, lowering heat if it threatens to scorch. Stir in bananas and cook until softened and slightly caramelized, about 4 minutes. Stir in walnuts and cook until coated in a shiny, sugary lacquer, about 1 minute. Season with salt. Stir peanut butter and half of banana-walnut mixture into oatmeal, using a wooden spoon to crush bananas as you stir. Spoon oatmeal into bowls and top with remaining banana-walnut mixture, grated orange zest, and a light dusting of cinnamon and nutmeg. Serve right away.
