ingredients
2 cups steel-cut oats
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 large very ripe bananas, mashed
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, plus more for serving (optional)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
8 12 ounces Ball canning jars with metal rings and lids
1/2 cup buttermilk or milk
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Sliced bananas, for garnish (optional)
directions
In a medium pot, combine oats, 5 cups water and salt; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cover. Cook 10 minutes. (Oatmeal will be very watery.) Remove from heat; stir in bananas, sugar and lemon juice. Distribute oatmeal evenly among glass jars; screw on lids. Cool on countertop and refrigerate overnight.
To serve: Remove metal rings and lids. For each jar, stir in 1 tbsp buttermilk, 1 tbsp chopped walnuts and, if desired, additional brown sugar. Reheat in microwave for 11/2 to 2 minutes, until hot; let stand 1 minute. Carefully remove, stir and garnish with sliced bananas, if desired.
