Pro Tips
• Adjust the consistency by adding a tablespoon of hot water at a time to thin the cereal, or let it sit for a minute longer to thicken it up like oatmeal.
• Boost the flavor and texture with keto-friendly toppings like a handful of fresh berries, a sprinkle of chia seeds, or chopped walnuts.
• For a different flavor profile, try swapping the cinnamon for a pinch of nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice, or use almond extract instead of vanilla.
• While flax is a fantastic source of fiber and healthy fats, it’s best enjoyed in moderation. We recommend enjoying this recipe a few times a week rather than daily.
