LOW-CARB OATMEAL PORRIDGE

This porridge will remind you very strongly of oatmeal porridge. I love it and I hope you will, too. It is not only delicious but also a very filling alternative to eggs at breakfast time. It is loaded with nutrition and fiber. You can top the porridge with your favorite berries (I typically use thawed frozen berries). Sweeten to taste; however, don’t use too much as chia seeds will make it difficult to sweeten the porridge really sweet, if you know what I mean. The way around this is to drizzle with a little honey substitute or low-carb pancake syrup after cooking. So good that way and perfectly sweet enough for my sweet tooth!

This recipe will take very little of your time and you will have a really nice creamy low-carb oatmeal.

LOW-CARB BAKE MIX

My low-carb bake mix recipe has a combination of almond flour, oatmeal flour, and coconut flour, so it's very low-carb. The Keto Bake Mix is for those doing Keto vs low-carb and it is composed of almond flour, coconut flour and ¼ cup whey protein powder.

CHIA SEEDS

Chia seeds are a good source of fiber which can help with heart health, reduce cholesterol and promote intestinal health. Chia seeds are a good alternative to flax seeds which have phytoestrogens that many people don’t believe in or think or healthy. Because of the fiber, chia seeds can satiate the appetite and promote weight loss.

OATMEAL PORRIDGE VS THIS LOW-CARB VERSION

1 cup of cooked oats has 27 grams of carbs and this makes about 1 cup which has only 4.7 g net carbs!

RICH IN NUTRIENTS

The antioxidants, minerals, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids in chia seeds may promote heart health, support strong bones, and improve blood sugar management

CALORIES

The heavy cream is good and so tasty in this porridge; however if you would like to cut calories, use almond milk instead, and you can afford to make part of the water almond milk as well, or all of it. I will admit I ate all the porridge in one sitting with plenty of berries on top. I was not hungry for hours and hours and actually, it helped me lose weight as was seen on the scale the next day.

Ingredients:

2 tbsp chia seeds (30 mL)

1/2 cup water (125 mL)

1/4 cup heavy cream (60 mL)

1/4 tsp vanilla extract (1 mL)

2 tbsp finely chopped pecans (30 mL)

Cooking Instructions:

In medium microwaveable bowl, combine Gluten-Free Bake Mix 2, OR Keto Bake Mix, chia seeds, water, heavy cream, sweetener to taste and vanilla extract. Whisk the ingredients together well and nuke 1 minute. Top with the chopped pecans and nuke another 15 seconds. This is how long it took in my microwave oven which is very powerful. You may need as much as 2 minutes, depending, so try 1 minute, stir and go from there. The chia seeds should be soft and the porridge lovely and thick. You can refrigerate leftover porridge and reheat in the microwave oven when needed again.
