This recipe is wonderful! I added almonds and toasted coconut.
Bless you for this recipe! Between this and the Wonderful World of Chaffles I think I’m going to meet my goals. I was REALLY missing Oatmeal. I added Pumpkin Pie Spice, butter and cream to mine…heavenly!
I have tried a few other KETO oatmeal recipes but this one is a keeper. I add fruit to mine and maple extract. Delicious.
This āoatmealā is AWESOME!!!! OMG!!!!
I have been craving oatmeal (cuz I canāt have it, of courseš) & this recipe deliversš„°š„°š„°.
I added Maple Grove sugar free maple syrup after I cooked it.
Next time, I think Iāll leave out my sweetener (allulose) & add Lakanto Golden sweetener & syrup and see if I get the āmaple/brown sugarā flavor oatmeal that I used to eatš
I made this today and canāt wait to try it tomorrow. It was so easy to make. I used maple extract instead of vanilla extract. This ones definitely a keeper. Thank you so much for the recipe š
Could this work as an overnight recipe?
So liked this breakfast. Iāve really been missing cereal because Iām not very fond of eggs. This had texture and a nice taste. Just as written was fine with me. Thanks for the recipe. I tried an āoatmealā made with almond flour and flaxseeds and it was really unpleasant – gloppy. This is much better.
This was very good! I added sugar free maple pecan choc zero syrup and a few walnuts! It was a great recipe, excellent on a cold morning!
I love oatmeal, so when I went on the keto diet I was sad to lose it, but then I found this recipe. I add sugar free maple syrup and have it every morning.
Delicious, I made half recipe (1 serving) as is and then added frozen blueberries (<1/4 cup) that I microwaved until burst, added in just before serving.
I love to add a few different things each timeā¦HWC, almond extract, butterscotch extract, maple or coconut extractā¦.then you can add any type of nuts &/or shredded unsweetened coconut. The ideas are endless.
The base of this morning deliciousness is awesome!!!!
Thank you for this āoatmealāš„°
We like this recipe a lot! I’ve made it many times, my husband likes it too!
I followed the recipe but used the spenda brown sugar I had on hand. It is sooo good. I added a few blueberries after cooking. I have doubled this recipe ( dry only) so I have ready to go. Thank you!
This is the first keto oatmeal recipe I’ve tried and it will be the last as it is so good! I use unsweetened vanilla almond milk or unsweetened coconut milk as I like it creamy and top with sugar free maple syrup. Sometimes I’ll throw on some pecans or almonds. Planning to try some different combos :a bit of cocoa powder & peanut butter, some toasted coconut & sugar free chocolate, berries, etc. Thanks so much for this fabulous recipe š
P.S. I’ve tried both stovetop & microwave both work great.
Good morning
My question is how do cook this oatmeal that doesnāt have a glue like consistency?
Iām sure Iām doing something wrong!
Winter is coming and really want this recipe to work!
I was skeptical, but this recipe was so good! I used oat milk instead of water, truvia sweetener, and microwaved for about three minutes. It thickened up as it cooled a bit. I topped it with a scoop of almond butter and a banana.
Wondering if you could sub out chia seeds and sub in oats? Also wonder how it would be baked?
Iāve made this a few times a few different ways, and it is PHENOMENAL. I usually donāt even take the time to rate/ comment on recipes I make because who has the time? Well, I guess plenty of people do. But this time I just had to give proper credit where credit is due because I love how many different ways you can go with it: sweet, savory, hot, coldā¦ the options are endless. Tonight Iām doing it apple cinnamon style with blueberries and topping it with homemade applesauce. Iām just in love. Thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! Apple cinnamon style with blueberries sounds amazing.
This is fabulous! Great recipe.
Can’t do chia seeds (bleeding problem) so what can I use aa thickener?
I can’t either, so I just add a little extra flax.
