Keto Oatmeal Recipe (No Actual Oats Needed for This Hot Breakfast Idea!)
An oatmeal breakfast packed with all the good stuff!
Oats are traditionally high in carbs, but there’s an easy way to hack the warm and comforting breakfast food by using hemp hearts, chia seeds, and flax seeds. Top off our keto oatmeal with a drizzle of ChocZero Maple Syrup, keto-friendly nuts, or some berries! 😋 Yum.
Not only is this keto non-oat oatmeal delicious, but it’s also crazy good for you. Here are the benefits of what’s inside:
-
- Chia Seeds: Great source of fiber, an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants that are good for your skin.
- Hemp Hearts: Packed with antioxidants like fiber, helps keep the mind and immune system strong as well as aiming in restful sleep.
- Flax Seeds: Natural anti-inflammatory immune booster and helps lower blood pressure.
Hip Recipe Tips:
-
- You can flavor the keto oatmeal base however you’d like: cinnamon and keto maple syrup, berries and a splash of heavy cream, or keto nut butter and no sugar added chocolate chips (this is my kids’ favorite).
-
- While this is a hearty breakfast, you won’t need much to stay fueled up. About a 1/2 cup of keto oatmeal is super filling and will give you all-day energy!

Delicious and warm oatmeal-like breakfast, but without any carb-heavy oats!
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup hemp hearts

- 1/4 cup flaxseed meal
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons of Swerve (brown or regular granular)

Add all ingredients to a large mason jar. If using brown Swerve, crumble in the sweetener so it doesn't completely clump together when shaking. Seal with the lid and give it a good shake to really mix all the ingredients up.

What can I use to replace non-oats keto mix. I’ve not seen it on South Africa.
Hi Dayan! Be sure to look for the ingredients listed above to create you non-oatmeal Keto Mix. Hope this helps!
I don’t care for coconut. Is there something else I can substitute for the coconut?
Hi Joy! You can omit it if you don’t care for it. 😊
Great idea! Do i have to cook on the stove top? Could it be microwaved or made as overnight “oats”?
Hi there! We have not tried making this in the microwave but if you do try it let us know how it turns out. They would not work as over night oats but you can store cooked left overs in the fridge & reheat. I hope this helps❤
Can I replace the flax & chia seeds with something else. I need to avoid due to estrogen levels
It is delicious with berries! I just tried it! Thank you!
You bet! So glad you enjoyed this!
What can I use instead of hemp hearts military doesn’t allow any kind of hemp
This is so delicious! I add one more teaspoon of brown sugar alternative and one tablespoon of HWC to each serving! 😋
Awesome! Thanks for letting us know how you like it best!
Can I use sunflower seeds instead of hemp and will it change the nutritional facts?
Hi Deb! We haven’t done that, but you could give it a try. It will change up the taste, texture and nutritional facts. It looks like one ounce of shelled Sunflower seeds has 4g of net carbs. Hope this is helpful!
Thank you so much this is great and versatile, as it is getting colder here and I love something warm in the morning besides eggs.
You’re very welcome! Enjoy! 😊
I’ve tried several variations of keto no oatmeal and this recipe is the best. It’s just the right serving size too. Love the coconut!
Yay! SO happy to hear you enjoyed this one, Sharon! 🙌 Thanks a ton for the feedback!
