    Slow Cooker Banana Coconut Oatmeal cooks while you sleep! Wake up to a nutritious breakfast that's easy to make and full of nutrition!What could be better than waking up to a steaming creamy pot of oatmeal on a cold winter morning? Sounds perfect to me! Let your slow cooker do the work while you're having sweet dreams and wake up to Slow Cooker Banana Coconut Oatmeal, a delicious cinnamon oats breakfast.

    Slow Cooker Oatmeal ingredients collageDid you know that steel cut oatmeal provides high levels of fiber and protein, low levels of fat, stabilizes your blood sugar, removes bad cholesterol and is low in calories?

    The saturated fat in cream of coconut is a healthy good fat that your body can quickly metabolize and turn into energy.

    Almond milk is low in carbs, low on the glycemic index, promotes strong bones and a healthy heart and contains vitamin E for healthy glowing skin.

    Stir in chopped banana and top with a drizzle of honey, my favorite is Honey Ridge Farms, or maple syrup and you're off to the start of a delicious nutritious day!  

    This recipe makes enough for a crowd, or several individual servings that you can just reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop over low heat each morning. Good morning to you! #NationalOatmealMonth
