Steel Cut Oatmeal With Maple Cream

---

I found this recipe in bon appetit magazine in september 2003 and loved it! i never copied it, lost the magazine... And for some reason it never made it on to the epicurious web site. i was so bummed. then lo and behold... I opened up an old box of cookbooks and found the magazine again. here it is for safe keeping. i never use the bananas, but imagine they'd be good on it.
