The Super Easy Vegan Slow Cooker Cookbook

I was about to make the banana steel-cut oats when I first bought this but then I noticed that it was 700 calories per serving.

I meant to go back and do the math myself but I forgot all about it, so thanks for unwittingly reminding me of this book! Scary that I could forget something that I've only had for about a month.

LJean - 700 calories per serving for banana oatmeal? Are there nuts and seeds or sugar in it?

Crazy, right? I added up the quantities for one serving (minus spices, salt, and vanilla extract) and came up with...

150 calories -- steel-cut oats
30 -- nondairy milk
50 -- banana
55 -- raisins
26 -- brown sugar
19 -- flax meal

So, 330 calories, which sounds a lot more reasonable!
