Noatmeal for Breakfast: Keto Oatmeal

The key to mixing up noatmeal is in the ratio. I’ve found that I prefer a 1:1:2 ratio, of flax:chia:milk (sweetener to taste). Typically, a normal serving for me is 2T flax, 2T chia (which equals 1/4c dry ingredients) and 1/2c carbmaster milk. I then add a splash of Torani sugar free syrup – just under a tablespoon, to taste. I actually keep a ziploc baggie of equal parts flax meal and chia seeds premixed in the cupboard so I can just scoop out 1/4c in the evenings when I prep my breakfast for the next day. Which brings me to my next point… Preparation To eat immediately, use the stovetop method: 1. Combine all ingredients in a pot on the stove over medium heat. 2. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. 3. Concoction will rapidly congeal. 4. Remove from heat, add toppings, enjoy. For overnight prep, do the following: 1. Combine all ingredients in a sealed, microwave-safe container. 2. Stick it in the fridge. 3. In the morning, pop it in the microwave for approximately one minute. 4. Add toppings and enjoy. Optional Toppings As you can see, I’ve been a bit of a traditionalist. It’s winter and I’m eating my noatmeal like oatmeal, with either extra Carbmaster milk or cream poured on top and a pat of butter. I’ve been flavoring it with French Vanilla Torani, so my bowls have been a creamy mass of warm deliciousness. But there are all sorts of combinations you can try! Here are some that are on my agenda: French Vanilla Torani, coconut butter Raspberry Torani, fresh raspberries French Vanilla Torani, fresh strawberries peanut butter, S’Mores Torani, a few sugar free dark chocolate chips brown sugar Splenda (or Brown Sugar and Cinnamon Torani), sprinkle of cinnamon, pecans Pumpkin Spice Torani, spoonful of pumpkin puree, pecans I may be a bit of a Torani fangirl, with all of those flavors in stock, but you can always use whatever sweetener you have on hand (I know a lot of people prefer stevia and erythritol – knock yourselves out!). You can add extracts in that case if you’d like to add in additional flavor! Nutrition Here’s where I normally link in a picture of my MyFitnessPal recipe that shows the nutritional breakdown. I’m not going to do that for this recipe. Why? Because there are so many variables, and I’m not talking about just your toppings. For instance, I use Krogers brand Carbmaster milk. I know a lot of people who come to this site don’t have access to a Krogers. They may elect to use almond milk, or coconut milk, or soy milk, or whatever. I’m not a big fan of almond milk, so I prefer the Carbmaster. Whatever works! All of those are cool! But they do have different nutritional values. I will say, however, that my typical bowl breaks down to just under 300cal, 4g net carbs, 15g fat, 20g protein, and 14g fiber.
