Prior to deciding to live a low-carb, ketogenic lifestyle, I enjoyed my weekends. A warm bowl of comfortable hot cereal or porridge was made for the weekends.
It wasn’t as filling as my usual low-carb breakfast, but it was still a tasty treat!
Almond Flour
I’ve been enjoying hot cereal once more, and THIS is the greatest low-carb variety thanks to Sukrin’s defatted almond flour. I wasn’t sure what to make of the Sukrin Almond Flour when I first looked at it. It isn’t at all like the blanched ground almonds I’m used to using in baking—dry it’s and powdery. For other ingredients to absorb, more liquid and time are needed. Even though I’ll freely admit that I haven’t used it much in baking, it is ideal in this low-carb, paleo porridge.
The defatted almond flour wasn’t quite the right consistency on its own. In an effort to find the ideal texture, I alternately added protein powder, oat fibre, sesame flour, and blanched almond flour. The first few bowls lacked that silky, wet mouth feel I recalled and were chalky and dry.
The secret components? an egg and flax. A beaten egg adds thickness and creaminess to the texture, and golden flax meal gives the cohesion I was looking for. This hot ketogenic cereal has a texture that I would compare to that of thick oats without lumps and cream of wheat.
Erroneous Ideas
One bag of Sukrin Defatted Almond Flour yielded 18 servings, or roughly 75 cents of product per serving.
You may make your own low-carb brown sugar by mixing 1 cup of granulated sweetener with 1 tablespoon of blackstrap molasses, which results in 1 net carb per tablespoon (Sukrin Gold has 0 carbohydrates per tablespoon). I ADORE it.
Substitutions for a dairy-free or paleo diet include adding honey or maple syrup as a sweetener, swapping butter for ghee or coconut oil, and switching heavy cream for almond or coconut milk.
Add your preferred toppings as a garnish, but don’t forget to keep an eye on the carbs.
CAN OATMEAL BE EATEN WHEN ON A LOW CARB DIET?
A grain is oats. Additionally, even though you may find oatmeal without gluten, oats do have a lot of carbohydrates in them. Actually, you can obtain more nutrients without raising your blood sugar levels in other places.
