Tips

Note: Nutrition information is calculated with all of the optional ingredients listed.

Coconut flour and chia seeds and/or flour absorb a lot of fluid. I make sure to have enough water to cover the dry mixture by 1/4" then place in microwave to cook. Stop the microwave and stir after 1 1/2 minutes of cooking. Stir well. Cook the additional minute and it will absorb the rest of the fluid. Water should be adjusted to the thickness desired.


Directions

Measure out the oats, ground chia, and coconut flour and place into bowl. Add salt and water, then stir well. Mixture will begin to thicken quickly as the chia and coconut flour absorb water. If you prefer spices, add them now. (See suggestion shown below).

Place bowl in microwave and cook 1.5 minutes. Stir cereal and place back in microwave for 1 more minute. Carefully remove bowl from microwave. It will be very hot. Stir cereal. Add butter/margarine etc as desired. Top with cream, yogurt, fruit or whatever you like.

(Optional)
season to taste.
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice,
1/4 tsp vanilla
1TBSP butter
1TBSP heavy cream for creaminess. Top with fruit like blueberries for more antioxidants and flavor.
