Introduction

I love oatmeal, but straight up it sends my blood sugar a bit too high. So here is a lower carb porridge that does not skip the oatmeal entirely as many do, and which is very satisfying.

Ingredients

    8 tbsp Flax Seed - Hodgson Mill Milled Flax Seed
    104 gram(s) Bob's Red Mill - Chia seeds - 1Tbsp=13g
    16 tbsp Shredded Coconut Unsweetened (Bob's Red Mill)
    1 cup Bob's Red Mill Almond Meal/Flour (1/4 cup is 28g)
    16 tbsp Hemp Hearts
    2 cup dry Oatmeal (plain)

Directions

Mix all the ingredients together and put into a container for daily use. Pour out a half cup into your bowl, add a half cup water + about 2 tablespoons more water, and microwave for two and a half minutes at 60% power (your microwave will probably be different , so experiment). I prefer to portion it out the night before and let it soak overnight. That is important for the oatmeal. But if you don't do that, it will still be good. Enjoy.

(The ingredient amountss look fiddlly, but they are really very simple. Just 4 parts oatmeal, 1 part chia and flax, and 2 parts all the other ingredients. If you use a tablespoon as your measure, you will wind up with 1.5 servings.)

Serving Size: makes 12 half-cup (dry) servings.
