Creamy Keto Low Carb Porridge

This low carb porridge is creamy, warming Keto breakfast heaven! You can whip up a bowl in only 3 minutes from start to finish. There’s no need to miss oatmeal ever again! The recipe is sugar free, vegan, Paleo and suitable for diabetics.

There are some mornings when only a bowl of warming porridge will do. It might be still dark outside, or you might be tired and in need of simple comfort food.

I was brought up on oatmeal for breakfast, so that’s what I crave when I’m feeling a bit delicate in the AM.

Can you eat oatmeal on a low carb diet? 

Oats are a grain. And while you can get gluten free oatmeal, oats do contain a significant amounts of carbs. Frankly, you can get more nutrients elsewhere without sending your blood sugar levels sky-high.

Luckily, you can make creamy and delicious low carb porridge using nut and seed flours!  

I have tried all kinds of combinations of flax meal / ground flaxseed, almond flour, coconut flour, ground sesame seeds, ground sunflower seeds, ground pumpkin seeds and ground chia seeds. All are delicious, and there really is not much that can go wrong.

For one portion, use about 6 tbsp (US measuring spoons) of nut and seed flours plus 1/2-3/4 cup of liquid such as water or almond / coconut milk. If you want your oatmeal to be extra creamy and rich, you can even use coconut milk/cream from a can, using both the liquid and the firm parts.

This Keto oatmeal version is my current favourite:

It uses ground sesame seeds, flax meal and almond flour. I find the sesame lends a lovely depth.

The sesame flour you can make yourself. Just take a small bag of sesame seeds and blend it yourself in a food processor or with the attachment of a stick blender, Once it resembles a flour, store it in a mason jar.

Can you make low carb porridge ahead? 

You can easily multiply this recipe and combine the dry ingredients in advance. When you feel like a porridge, simply scoop out 6 tablespoons and mix it with your liquid of choice. I find that fresh is always best! As with regular oat porridge, Keto porridge has the habit of continuing to expand once cooked. You’d need more nut milk to loosen it before heating.

Recipe variations for keto oatmeal

• 2 tbsp almond flour, 2 tbsp flax meal, 2 tbsp whey protein powder plus 1/2 cup water and 1/4 cup almond milk (for an extra protein kick)
• 2 tbsp coconut flour, 2 tbsp flax meal plus 3/4 cup coconut milk (coconut flour expands more than almond flour so you need more liquid and less dry ingredients)

Add-ins / Toppings for your “noatmeal”

I love my porridge with just some berries and golden erythritol. Here are some more ideas how you could serve it:

• Raspberry Swirl: Mash a handful of raspberries with a fork and add 1 tsp of erythritol. Swirl into the porridge after cooking.
• Peanut Butter Fudge: After microwaving for 1 minute, stir in 1 tbsp of peanut butter and 1 tbsp of double cream or coconut cream.
• Cinnamon Swirl: Melt 1 tsp of butter with 1 tsp of cinnamon and stir into 1 tbsp of sugar free syrup. Swirl into the porridge.
• Chocolate Chip: Add 1 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder and 1 tbsp erythritol to the mix before microwaving. Loosen with some additional milk or cream. Top with sugar free chocolate chips or shavings from a dark chocolate bar (at least 85% cocoa solids).
