Made with high-protein almond flour, coconut flakes, flaxseed meal and chia seeds, keto chocolate oatmeal recipe is a tasty keto breakfast.
Is Oatmeal Keto-Friendly
The oatmeal that you remember from your childhood is probably Quaker oats, made from milled or steel cut oats. And no, oatmeal is not keto-friendly.
It’s known as a healthy food because it is so high in fiber and doesn’t cause as much of a blood sugar spike as white flour or sugar does. There are 27 grams of carbs in one cup of cooked oatmeal.
So no, oatmeal is not keto-friendly.
But since oatmeal is a traditional (and comforting) breakfast food, I created a keto-friendly version. Instead of oats, I used a combination of low-carb, high-fat, and high-protein ingredients to mimic the taste and texture.
Chocolate Chip Oatmeal
In order to achieve the taste and texture of oatmeal without all the carbs, I used almond flour, coconut flakes, flaxseed meal, and chia seeds. Together all of these ingredients are just soft enough to taste comforting and rich.
This is the perfect recipe to eat when it’s cold outside and you want a hot breakfast.
Top this oatmeal with some chocolate chips to really elevate it! My favorite brand is Lily’s chocolate chips. It’s sugar-free and doesn’t have any funky aftertaste.
Keto Oatmeal
It only takes about 10 minutes to make this keto oatmeal, from start to finish. All you need is some boiling water. You could boil the water in the microwave, on the stove, or with an electric hotpot. It’s just as easy either way.
Since it takes just a few minutes, you don’t have to worry about storing leftovers for a meal prep. In fact, I don’t suggest storing it. It tastes so much better when it’s hot and fresh off the stove.
Keto Oatmeal Recipe
Even though this oatmeal is incredibly filling, there are just 5 grams net carbs in each serving. This is because all the fiber in the seeds, flour, and coconut flakes bring the net carbs total way down.
Enjoy this oatmeal with a glass of keto iced bulletproof coffee for a wonderful way to start the day. Or for a really luxurious drink, whip up some keto Dalgona coffee.
Almond Flour Oatmeal
When you make this oatmeal, I suggest using blanched almond flour. Don’t use almond meal. If you use almond meal, the oatmeal will taste pretty grainy.
You just also make sure you’re using unsweetened coconut flakes too. Sweetened coconut flakes will add way too many carbs to the oatmeal to keep it keto-friendly.
Then, top the oatmeal with your favorite mix-in’s. I added chocolate chips, but you can add blueberries or even strawberries.
