Almond Flour in Oatmeal?

Yes! Almond flour makes a delicious, nutrient-dense oatmeal that is an excellent choice for breakfast. Almond flour is made from finely grinding blanched almonds into a powder. It is a popular pick for gluten-free baking or for those on a low-carb diet. Almonds have about 20 grams of carbohydrates per cup; that’s less than half of the carbohydrates found in oats!

Almond flour has a slightly sweet flavor and chewy texture. When mixed with seeds, cinnamon, and milk, the flour thickens into a warm bowl of keto oatmeal. This recipe is so versatile because of the differing array of additional ingredients. Pick your favorite low-carb seeds, chopped nuts, or fruits to mix into the oatmeal. Hemp hearts and chia seeds are tiny in size but big on nutrition! Chopped almonds add a great crunch and boost the nutty flavor of the almond flour. Easily adapt the additional ingredients for your personal tastes!

Ingredients for Keto Oatmeal

Almond Flour – Almond flour is made from blanched almonds that are ground into a fine powder. It is very frequently used in gluten-free baking. Look for finely ground almond flour, not almond meal! That is a different ingredient.

Hemp Hearts – Hemp hearts are the edible seeds of the hemp plant. They are packed with around 10 grams of protein per 3 tablespoons! Hemp hearts are a great addition to baked goods, sprinkled onto salads, or added to smoothies.

Chia Seeds – Chia seeds have been used centuries for energy and antioxidants. They are full of omega-3 fatty acids which are vital for brain health. Chia seeds also have gelling properties which help combine the ingredients in this keto oatmeal recipe.

Milk – Milk is needed to moisten and mix the ingredients together. Use your favorite brand, whether dairy or non-dairy!

Ground Cinnamon – Cinnamon adds both flavor and antioxidant properties to this keto oatmeal.

Keto-Friendly Sweetener – Since almond flour already has a sweet flavor, start with one teaspoon of your chosen keto-friendly sweetener, like monk fruit extract or stevia. Add more sweetener if desired.

Vanilla Extract – Vanilla extract adds an essence of floral, caramel flavor, pairing perfectly with the cinnamon and almond flour.

Toppings – Keto-approved berries, like raspberries, add a beautiful burst of bright flavor! Other toppings of coconut flakes and chopped almonds provide a great crunch.

Variations

• Add flaxseed for a boost of fiber.
• Mix in 1/2 tablespoon of cocoa for a decadent treat!
• Use less milk for a thicker oatmeal.
