    5-Ingredient Vegan Keto Oatmeal

    There's nothing like a warm bowl of oatmeal on a cold morning. For this Florida girl, that means the outside temperature has dipped down into the 50s (gasp!). Whatever the temperature is where you live, don't let a low-carb diet deprive you of a warm bowl of oatmeal. And the best part: it's just as simple to make as regular oatmeal. With only 5 ingredients, this Vegan Keto Oatmeal will be your new lazy morning meal!

    Tips & Tricks

    If you are non-vegan, you could substitute heavy cream or half-and-half instead of the coconut milk.

    Using Psyllium Husks

    I used WHOLE psyllium husks. If you are using powdered psyllium husks, you should reduce the amount by half (½ teaspoon instead of 1 tsp).

    If you don't have psyllium husks, you could swap for glucomannan. Or just leave it out. The flax and chia seeds will give the oatmeal a thicker consistency on their own, so you will be just fine if you leave out the psyllium husks completely.

    Getting the perfect consistency

    The thickness and creaminess of the oatmeal will depend on a variety of factors. Are you using whole or powdered psyllium husks? Did you use full-fat coconut milk or a different type of milk? Are you using flax meal or whole flax seeds?

    The recipe starts out on the thicker side, and then you can add water to thin it out until the desired consistency is obtained. Just make sure that you let it sit and thicken for a minute or two before you start adding the water.

    Coconut Milk

    Make sure you buy the one that is in a can, unsweetened, and full fat. It will probably not say "full fat" on the can, but it should NOT say "low fat" or "reduced fat." If you look at the nutritional information, the fat content should be somewhere around 14g for one serving of ⅓ cup.

    Sometimes the can of coconut milk will separate and there will be a layer of coconut cream at the top. That's completely normal. Be sure to shake the can well before opening it. If it's still separated, just use a little of the liquid and a little of the cream. It will all mix together once it gets heated in the microwave.

    Optional Ingredients and Toppings

    The basic recipe for this 5-Ingredient Vegan Keto Oatmeal contains... well... 5 ingredients. But I also listed a bunch of optional additions. In addition, you could also add the following:

    • Pea protein powder
    • Inulin powder
    • A different sweetener besides stevia
    • Extracts (maple syrup extract is a favorite of mine)
    • Berries: blueberries, strawberries, blackberries or raspberries
    • Nut butter
    • Pumpkin pie spice
    • Sunflower seeds
    • Pumpkin seeds
    • Shaved almonds
    • Chopped pecans
    • Shaved coconut

    Without the berries and coconut. Just cinnamon, turmeric and a sprinkle of hemp seeds on top.

    Nutrition

    Vegan Protein

    This oatmeal is great for adding plant-based protein to your diet. For an extra boost, add a tablespoon of pea protein powder.

    This is the nutritional information for one serving (half recipe) of 5-Ingredient Vegan Keto Oatmeal, including all the optional ingredients listed in the recipe card:

    The recipe makes two servings?

    Yes. Even though it may look like a small bowl, it's very filling. I usually make one recipe in a bowl, eat half of it, and then save the other half for the next day. If you do eat the entire bowl in one sitting, please make sure your body is used to eating that much fiber. Otherwise, this fiber bomb may cause an upset stomach.
