Cuisine: Keto
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup hemp hearts
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Sweetener to taste (optional)
- Fresh berries for topping (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine hemp hearts, unsweetened almond milk, and chia seeds over medium heat. Stir ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
- Continuously whisk the mixture while heating to prevent hemp hearts from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Cook for approximately 5-7 minutes until the mixture begins to thicken and develop a creamy, oatmeal-like consistency.
- Remove the pan from heat and stir in vanilla extract. If desired, add your preferred keto-friendly sweetener such as stevia, monk fruit, or erythritol to enhance the flavor profile.
- Let the mixture rest for 2-3 minutes to allow further thickening. The chia seeds will continue to absorb liquid and create a more substantial texture.
- Transfer the hemp heart "oatmeal" into serving bowls. If desired, top with fresh low-carb berries like raspberries or blackberries for added nutrition and visual appeal.
- Optionally, garnish with additional hemp hearts, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a small pat of grass-fed butter for extra richness and flavor.
Tips
- Choose Quality Ingredients: Opt for high-quality hemp hearts and unsweetened almond milk to ensure the best flavor and nutritional benefits. Fresh, organic berries will enhance the taste and visual appeal of your dish.
- Whisk Continuously: While cooking, make sure to whisk the mixture continuously. This will prevent the hemp hearts from sticking to the bottom of the pan and ensure a smooth, creamy texture.
- Customize Your Sweetness: Feel free to adjust the sweetness to your liking. Experiment with different keto-friendly sweeteners like stevia, monk fruit, or erythritol to find your perfect balance.
- Let It Rest: Allowing the oatmeal to rest for a few minutes after cooking will enhance its thickness and creaminess. The chia seeds will absorb more liquid, creating a satisfying, hearty dish.
- Get Creative with Toppings: Don’t hesitate to get creative! Besides fresh berries, consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon, a dollop of almond butter, or even a small pat of grass-fed butter for an extra layer of flavor.
