Home Kitchen Banana Macadamia Nut Overnight Oats

Need a simple breakfast that’s also flavor-packed, healthy and filling? I’ve got you.

Lately, I’ve been on quite the oatmeal kick. Topping with different types of fresh fruit or berries, nuts and always drizzling something sweet over top – like maple syrup, honey or brown sugar. Recently, I’ve been obsessed with this banana macadamia and toasted coconut number. So much in fact that I had to stop what I was doing and share it here.

While I prefer stovetop oatmeal, overnight oats are SO much easier and plus, less dishes to wash.

To Make Banana Macadamia Nut Overnight Oats Set out:

• milk (of your choice – I use unsweetened vanilla milkadamia)
• old fashioned oats
• cardamom
• fine salt
• vanilla
• banana
• dry roasted macadamia nuts
• toasted coconut
• hemp seeds
• chia seeds
• maple syrup

In a bowl or large liquid measuring cup, measure and add in 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats (I prefer using thick cut for overnight oats), pinch of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of ground cardamom. To that, pour in 3/4 cup milk of your choice. I’ve been loving milkadamia (not sponsored) and use their unsweetened vanilla.

Lastly, add a splash of vanilla extract.

Stir to combine.

Pour into a glass jar or a container with a tight fitting lid.

Cover tightly and refrigerate overnight.

The next morning your oats will be tender from absorbing some of the milk. You can add your toppings right into the jar or empty the jar into a bowl. Enjoy these overnight oats cold or heat until warm.

I prefer my oatmeal warm, so I add the overnight oats to a bowl, heat it up and then add half a sliced banana, 1 tablespoon each toasted coconut and chopped dry-roasted macadamia nuts. Then sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon hemp seeds, 1/4 teaspoon chia and drizzle the whole thing with a teaspoon of maple syrup.

The crunchy macadamia and toasted coconut with the banana and maple syrup? Out of this world.
