There is nothing better than waking up on a cool morning, knowing that a warm and delicious breakfast is waiting for you! I love to make overnight oatmeal because it elminates the breakfast rush in the morning. The sweet coconut and banana flavors and this topped off with a few chopped macadamia nuts, milk, and a touch of sugar free breakfast syrup makes me feel like I am on a tropical vacation for 5 minutes and not about to brave the frosty morning temperatures and a day of putting out fires at work! Plus, any leftover store easily in the fridge for the rest of the week and reheat in the microwave in 1 minutes. It doesn’t get much easier than that!
