Banana Bread Steel Cut Oatmeal

1/2 cup steel cut oats
1 1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon butter
Cinnamon 
All spice
Ground cloves 
Sliced banana
Toasted chopped pecans


I use the "quick cooking" steel cut oats. Bring water to boil. Stir in oats and turn down to a simmer. Simmer for 7 minutes stirring often. While simmering combine 1 tablespoon of dark brown sugar, 6 dashes of cinnamon, 3 dashes each of all spice and ground cloves in a small bowl. About two minutes before the simmer is finished stir in sugar mixture and a tablespoon of butter. When the 7 minutes is up remove from heat and let stand for 1 minute before serving. You may serve with toasted chopped pecans, sliced banana, additional sugar, half and half, or a drizzle of sweetened condensed milk. You can change it up with different fruits: Apple, peach, and pear would all go nicely with this spice combination. This recipe makes enough oatmeal for two people.
