Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1/4 cup flaxseed meal
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon sweetener of choice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 1 cup almond flour, 1/4 cup chia seeds, 1/4 cup flaxseed meal, 2 cups unsweetened almond milk, 1 tablespoon sweetener of choice, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the almond flour, chia seeds, and flaxseed meal. Stir them together to ensure they are well mixed.
- Gradually pour in the 2 cups of unsweetened almond milk while stirring continuously. This will help prevent any lumps from forming in the mixture.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Once the mixture starts to simmer, reduce the heat to low and continue to cook for about 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The cereal will thicken as it cooks.
- When the cereal reaches your desired consistency, remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon of your chosen sweetener, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon until everything is well combined.
- Let the hot cereal cool for a couple of minutes before serving. This will allow it to thicken slightly more.
- Divide the cereal into two bowls. You can top it with additional toppings like fresh berries, nuts, or a drizzle of nut butter, if desired.
- Serve warm and enjoy your delicious grain-free hot cereal!
Tips
- Stir Constantly: To prevent lumps and ensure a smooth, creamy texture, keep stirring the mixture while cooking.
- Customize Your Sweetness: Experiment with different sweeteners like monk fruit, stevia, or honey to find your perfect flavor profile.
- Add Texture: Top your cereal with crunchy nuts, fresh berries, or a sprinkle of coconut flakes for extra interest.
- Make Ahead: This recipe can be prepared in advance and reheated, making it perfect for busy mornings.
