No-Oat Oatmeal

Cozy Comfort in a Bowl: My Favorite No-Oat Oatmeal (Grain-Free, Low-Carb & Delicious!)

There’s something so grounding about a warm bowl of oatmeal in the morning. But if you’re watching your carbs, managing blood sugar, or following a grain-free lifestyle, traditional oats might not be your best friend. That’s where this cozy, satisfying no-oat oatmeal comes in—and let me tell you, it’s a breakfast I look forward to again and again.

This recipe has become a staple in my rotation, especially on cooler mornings or when I want something warm and nourishing that won’t leave me feeling sluggish. It checks all the boxes:

✅ Gluten-free

✅ Grain-free

✅ Dairy-free

✅ Sugar-free

✅ Packed with protein, fiber, and healthy fats

Best of all—it tastes just like oatmeal. Maybe even better. And your body will thank you for the anti-inflammatory ingredients that fuel you without the blood sugar crash.

What Makes This No-Oat Oatmeal So Special?

Instead of oats, we’re using a blend of almond flour, coconut flakes, flax meal, chia seeds, and hemp hearts. This combination gives you:

• Plant-based protein to keep you full

• Healthy fats to support hormones and brain health

• Fiber to nourish your gut and stabilize blood sugar

• Cinnamon to add warmth and help support insulin sensitivity

It’s also totally customizable—add berries, nut butter, seeds, or a splash more milk for creaminess. Sometimes I top mine with chopped walnuts and a few slices of banana for a comforting treat.

And here’s a bonus: you can prep it as an overnight “oats” version too! Just stir everything together, refrigerate, and wake up to a ready-made breakfast.

Here’s How to Make It:

Ingredients:

• 1/4 Cup Almond flour

• 2 Tbsp Unsweetened coconut flakes

• 1 Tbsp Hemp seeds

• 1 Tbsp Flax meal

• 1 Tbsp Chia seeds

• 1/2 Tbsp stevia or monk fruit

• 1/2 tsp Cinnamon

• Pinch of salt

• 1/2 Cup Unsweetened vanilla almond milk

• 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract

Warm Method:

1. In a small saucepan, stir together all ingredients except the milk and vanilla.

2. Add in the milk and vanilla and bring to a gentle boil.

3. Reduce to medium heat and simmer for about 1 to 1½ minutes until it begins to thicken.

4. Remove from heat, let cool slightly (it will thicken more as it cools), and top with your favorites!

Overnight Method:

Simply combine all ingredients, stir well, and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight. Grab and go in the morning!
