As I've already mentioned, this low carb oatmeal recipe comes together with justa handful of ingredientsand around5 minutes.

And you hardly need any equipment to make these keto oats either –all you need is a saucepan and a stovetop!

How easy is that?

Anyway, let's talk about the ingredients you'll need to make this keto oatmeal recipe!

Keto Oatmeal Ingredients

So, to make this low carb oatmeal recipe, you'll need:

• Unsweetened Almond Milk
• Hemp Hearts
• Coconut Flour
• Blanched Almond Flour
• Chia Seeds
• Golden Flaxseed Meal- blended into almost a flour-like consistency
• Confectioners Swerve
• Cinnamon

As surprising as it may seem, by using these ingredients, we'll be able to create keto oatmeal thatresembles regular oatmeal almost entirely!

As a bonus, the ingredients we're using aresuper nutritious too.

Thehemp hearts,chia seeds, andgolden flaxseed mealarerich in omega-3 fatty acids, which will add some healthy fats to your day and help you keep on top of your macros.

With that said, thehemp heartsare really the key to giving our keto friendly oatmeal it's spot-onflavor and texture(plus some additional protein) without any added net carbs, so don't try to substitute those out.

Personally, I like to use theManitoba Harvest Hemp Heartsfor my oats, but you can use whatever brand is available to you to make this keto oatmeal recipe.

Keto Sugar Substitutes

Okay, so before we get into the rest of the recipe, I want to talk a little bit aboutthe best low carb sweetener optionsfor this oatmeal.

As always, the best choice for this recipe – and myabsolute go-to when it comes to sweetening up keto dishes– isConfectioners Swerve.

It hasthe same sweetness level as sugarbut with0 net carbs and calories, which makes itthe perfect substitute for low-carb dishes.

That being said,Lakanto's Confectioners Monk Fruitis another good option that can get the job done as well as Swerve. You cansubstitute it for Swerve on a1:1 basis.

For my European readers, you can also useSukrin.

Now, on the subject of what I don't recommend for sweetening your keto dishes –I suggest avoiding pure erythritol, stevia, and Splenda.

Those substitutes mentioned above are either too sweet or blended with sugar and aren't keto friendly.

I go into a little more detail on that in my ultimateketo chocolate chip cookies recipe if you want to learn more – and even try out the recipe while you're at it! It's my favorite cookie recipe for the keto diet.

Then,place your saucepan on a burner over medium-high heatandwhisk continuouslyto avoid uneven cooking and make sure everything is evenly incorporated.
