How to make Keto Grain-free Hemp Heart Porridge / Oatmeal
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
One of the things I miss most since going low-carb is hot breakfast cereals - oatmeal/porridge, cream of wheat/semolina, and malt-o-meal have always been favourites. I’m not one who gets ‘sick of eggs’ but sometimes you just want something different. I recently shared a peanut butter overnight ‘oatmeal’ recipe using hemp hearts to replace the oats, and that was so tasty. This version is cooked and seemed more similar to a cream of wheat or malt-o-meal texture.
This one had a nice, light vanilla and cinnamon flavour, but I’ll bet it would be great omitting those and just stirring peanut butter through at the end. Experiment with this - I’d love to see what you come up with as I’m always looking for good ideas! :)
I found this recipe on www.healthfulpursuit.com and it’s not only low-carb and keto it’s also vegan, paleo, gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free, and grain-free. It’s also high in healthy fats and fibre, so it’ll keep you full and satisfied for hours.
Hemp Hearts seem to be all the rage lately. Here’s an excellent article that tells all about the health benefits if you’re interested

but a quick summary is they may reduce inflammation and improve eczema, arthritis and muscle pain. They may also improve heart health and combat menopausal and PMS symptoms. Sounds great!
Prep time: 2 mins | Cook time: 3 mins | Total time: 5 mins | Serves: 1
Ingredients
• 1 cup non-dairy milk
• ½ cup Hemp Hearts
• 2 tablespoons freshly ground flax seed
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 1 tablespoon xyltiol or sweetener of choice, e.g. 5 drops alcohol-free stevia
• ¾ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ cup crushed almonds or almond flour
Toppings
• 3 Brazil nuts
• 1 tablespoon Hemp Hearts
Instructions
1. Add all ingredients but the ground almonds and toppings to a small saucepan. Stir until combined, then heat over medium heat, just until it begins to boil lightly. No need to cover.
2. Once bubbling lightly, stir once over and leave to cook for another 1-2 minutes.
3. Remove from the heat, stir in crushed almonds, and drop into a bowl. Top with toppings and eat immediately.
Notes
• Making Ahead: I have not tried making this keto recipe ahead of time and eating it later. I’m not sure if it would get too sticky?
• Nut-free: If you can't do nuts, simply replace the ground almonds with crushed sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds.
• Digestion: If you're sensitive to nuts and seeds, you could try soaking the ingredients beforehand.

I miss oatmeal so much. I'll try this. Update: I made this. I wasnt sure about it at first but I'm eating it now and it's really good!!! I didnt have flax . This will definitely help satisfy my craving for steel cut oatmeal.
The evening I watched your video, I went to the kitchen and measured all the dry ingredients into a canning jar so I could have it the next morning. Cooking it slowly on low made this so creamy that I just sprinkled a little of the almond flour in and saved the rest for future oatmeals. Since that morning, I have a jar filled with your recipe which I have enjoyed several times. Thank you for this wonderful recipe!!
Woman, you're a genius! This was delicious! This is what I did differently. I didn't have any almond milk so I used half and half. I added in a bit more of the half and half to make it a bit runnier. Used Lakanto Monk Fruit/Erythritol sweetener x2 teaspoons, 1 teaspoon almond butter. Garnished with frozen blueberries. I couldn't believe how delicious and creamy this turned out. Great recipe!
Just made this and it’s lovely! Thank you for sharing! ❤️
Making a variation of this recipe this morning. Thank you for the inspiration to try it! Weather is cooling off and time for a hot breakfast into the rotation!
Was just looking for this kind of recipe! Thanks!!
A great Keto breakfast alternative. Looks delicious! Thank you for sharing. 👍🏽
I made it this morning and it was very good! This recipe is a keeper.
I just tried this as not so hungry today, and it is amazing, will be doing this again x
Great job. Gives me lots of ideas!
Looks really good. Thanks for sharing.
I just made the porridge, it’s delicious. Thank you so much. 👏👏👏🫐🫐🫐😋😋😋😋
This is great I have been looking for something like this !
Hi Anna, I made this and loved it. I posted my pics of it on Instagram. I added more sweetner and cinnamon. I like it sweet! Anyway this is a great recipe as we head into Fall here. Thanks!
Great idea!
Thanks. Maple extract makes it taste really good.
Fantastic healthy breakfast, thanks for sharing , ingredients too expensive for me to buy here in the UK
Looks good x
Will be trying this soon. I really love Malt O'meal and have been looking for a keto friendly substitute. This may be close.
I made yesterday abs didn’t follow the recipe o added ginger and nutmeg and that was overwhelming. I did eat it but I’m going to follow the exact recipe today including adding the almond flour at the end. Thanks so much for this alternative!

You're welcome. It's always good to try and make it your own. You'll finally settle on what works for you :)
Looks like Maypo. Great job!
Made this and it was delicious. I just replaced the sweetner with a date blended in dairy free milk and used walnuts instead of almonds
I love this. Can u make a savory one for porridge? I wanna do a chicken porridge but i dont think itll taste right with milk
Freshly grind your flaxseeds to preserve the nutrients. So easy. No telling how long the store bought grounds have been sitting.
is the nut milk necessary or does the almond flour help enough?
Who are you cooking for?
I have made this and it is really good. I want to try it now with a brown sugar substitute with the cinnamon. Just like my old favorite oatmeal flavorings. I just want you to know that I put this into my Carb Manager app and the calories are only 736 with 4 grams of net carbs. I am going to make this right now but I am going to cut it in half as I only want a snack. That cuts the calories down to about 368 with 2 grams of net carbs. I don't count the flavorings.

I did make this at half the amount and I used Swerve brown sugar substitute for the sweetener. It was outstanding! Not oatmeal, mind you, but it was a decent substitute. I had to run out to get flax seed cause I was out and it was on sale 2-16 ounce bags of organic ground flax seed for $5. That was a bonus!
Will this set like porridge without Chia ?
I bet that would be really good with some pecans in it.

@ Sharon Mynes..its really tasty. Adds a little texture too.
anybody made it the night ahead and how did it taste?
Thanks for sharing this.. I make a similar grain free porridge using rolled oats, hemp. Flax and chia seeds; cooked in water and soy milk. I substitute the sweetener and flavors for banana and /or peanut butter. Top off a small serving with a dollop of plain yogurt ..wards off hunger for many hours

That all sounds delicious however, oats is not keto friendly nor is the yogurt or I don't believe soy milk is either. Using your recipe for healthy eating would be great but the topic of this video is about Keto.
I love your accent
I bought Hemp Hearts and Walnuts. I’m gonna try that..💋🧚🏻♀️❤️🇺🇸

No, It's not required if you don't want it :)
I am going to try this, but am a bit reluctant since hemp hearts always have a pea taste to me.
Made it with hemp protein powder,chia seeds, flax seed powder, coconut powder, salt, nutmeg....turned out ok.... Will eat with straw 🍒
nice recipe. will def try this. not sure if you are aware but that sweetener isn't real good. it has 55% Maltodextrin. Dr Berg has a video on it & also Keto Connect have one. they do a blood test with all sweeteners & Maltodextrin was the worst. almost same as sugar.

I think she meant to type in erythritol because that is what she said in the video. I think she used a stevia & erythritol blend.
When I input this in carb manager it says it’s 8g carb for the whole recipe. How do you come up with 2?

are you using net carbs?
One serving is almost my entire daily allowance for my calories. I will need to stay with oatmeal made with Lupine Flakes.😂😂
If you use heavy cream instead of almond milk you get way better fats!

24g of that is fibre. It's the net carbs that count.
Add coconut flakes and toast hemp hearts in ghee before to enhance flavour no need for sugar
