Did I mention it's also gluten free AND sugar free? Yet actually tastes good.

Yes, I'm talking better than regular old oatmeal. This keto oatmeal has so much more texture and flavour. It's like oats but make it classy.

The other reason I love this keto oatmeal recipe is because it's so versatile! Don't have an ingredient? That's okay, I have a full list of substitutions below. Want to top your oats with chocolate and coconut? Go for it! Raspberry cheesecake oats? Yup, totally doable.

These oats really are a fun way to spice of your breakfast life without adding a ton of time to your morning routine.

You can even make the dry blend for these keto oats ahead of time and toss them in a jar so you can quickly whip up a batch whenever you're feeling it!

This recipe works great if you'd like to make overnight oats as well.

Now the base of these low carb oats is my new favourite ingredient, hemp hearts. That's right, no almond flour found here, LOL.

Hemp hearts have the closest texture to real oatmeal in my opinion and when combined with things like flax, psyllium husks, nuts, seeds etc. You get really nice, hearty texture.

Overall, I'm super pleased with this recipe.

As you can tell, someone else approved too. My general inspector had to be sure they were up to standard.

Tips For Making Easy Low Carb Keto Oatmeal

This oatmeal is super versatile and the ingredients can be changed out depending on what you have at home. This is just my personal favourite combination of ingredients.
Don't have hemp hearts? Try additional flax meal.
Don't have flax meal? Try additional hemp hearts.
Don't have ground psyllium husks? Add and extra 1/2 tbsp of flax meal.
Don't have oat fiber? Add an extra 1/2 tbsp ground psyllium husks or 1 tbsp hemp hearts or flax meal.
Like coconut? Add shredded coconut to the dry ingredients (be sure to adjust for this and add a slight bit more liquid).
Don't have sukrin brown sweetener? Simply use more of a regular sweetener you do have. You can even add a 1/4 tsp molasses for some brown sugar flavour with minimal added carbs.
For the milk portion, you can use water, unsweetened vanilla almond milk, boxed coconut milk, canned, full fat coconut milk or even half heavy cream and half water. I personally use the new almond milk + cashew milk protein blend.
Like your oatmeal thinner? Add a bit more liquid. Like it thicker? Add less liquid. You may have to play around with this a couple times to get your perfect consistency. Personally I like mine on the thicker side so that's what this recipe is based off of.
Topping Ideas: Chopped low carb fruit (blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, small apple chunks), nuts and seeds (almond slivers, pecans, walnuts, cashews, macadamia nuts, brazil nuts, chia seeds, additional hemp hearts, sun flower seeds) chocolate (dark chocolate bars 70-90%, stevia sweetened chocolate chips such as; krisda, Lily's or ChocZero brands), Protein bars or low carb granola bars (such as; built bars, quest bars, good fats bars, :Ratio bars, MunkPack Bars, etc), Sugar Free Syrups (such as; Sukrin Brown Syrup, ChocZero Sugar Free Maple Syrup, ChocZero Chocolate Syrup etc).
Other Mix-in Ideas: Natural almond butter, peanut butter, hazelnut butter, vanilla extract, almond extract, mint extract, lemon extract, lemon zest, cocoa powder, peanut flour, protein powder, etc)
