Equipment

saucepan
mixing spoon

serving bowls

Ingredients

1 tbsp chia seeds
2 tbsp flaxseed meal
1 tbsp almond flour
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 pinch salt
1 tbsp peanut butter or almond butter
2 tbsp fresh berries
1 tbsp hemp hearts
1 tsp low-carb sweetener (optional)

Instructions

Add the chia seeds, flaxseed meal, almond flour, almond milk, cinnamon, and salt into a saucepan over medium heat.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer while stirring often so the ingredients soften evenly.
Cook for 3 to 5 minutes until the mixture thickens into creamy oatmeal-like texture.
If the oatmeal becomes too thick, stir in a splash of almond milk to loosen the texture.
Let the oatmeal sit for 1 minute after cooking so the texture finishes thickening slightly.
Top with peanut butter, berries, hemp hearts, or other low-carb toppings before serving warm.

Notes

For creamier texture, add extra almond milk before serving. Avoid using too much coconut flour because it absorbs liquid quickly. Customize with berries, peanut butter, protein powder, hemp hearts, or walnuts. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
