Equipment
- 2 Tbsp Chia Seeds
- 1 squirt Liquid Stevia
- 4 Tbsp Ground linseed/flaxseeds
Ingredients
- 500 ml Almond Unsweetened Milk You can also use other unsweteneed plant milks such as hemp, soya or coconut (remember to check the carb content).
- 2 Tbsp Chia Seeds
- 1 Squirt Liquid Stevia If not using a squirtly bottle, use about 3-4 drops.
- 4 Tbsp Ground Flaxseeds/Linseeds Linseed and flaxseeds are the same thing.
For the topping
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 tsp Erythritol Alternatively you can use xylitol or monk fruit. You can use more/less sweetener depending on your taste.
Instructions
Preparing the Chia seeds
- Put 250ml of almond milk in a jug, along with the 2 tablespoons of chia seeds and a squirt of liquid stevia.
- Put the almond milk mix in the fridge overnight or around 6 to 8 hours, this is enough time for the chia seeds to soak.
Toppings Ideas (optional)
- You could add low carb fruits to your topping such as strawberies, raspberries, pomegrante seeds.
- Mixing cinnamon and erythritol together and sprinkling over the top is my faveorite topping + quick and easy.
- You could also use coconut, walnuts, sliced almonds or any other nuts as a topping.
Making the Oatmeal
- Once the chia seeds are ready, spoon some of the chia seeds into a bowl along with 125ml of the almond milk it was soaked in. Then add another 125ml of almond milk.
- Add 2 tablespoons of the ground linseed/flaxseed to the bowl and mix.
- Heat the mix in the microwave for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Remove from microwave, and sprinkle some of the cinnamon erythritol mix on top or add the fruit/nuts.
Notes
The chia seed mix can be stored in the fridge for 3 to 5 days. You can use this mix for other things such as chia seed pudding, smoothies etc.
