Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1.25 cups Unsweetened almond milk (or any low-carb milk alternative)
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, unsweetened shredded coconut, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well blended.
Pour the almond milk into a small saucepan over medium heat and heat until warm, but not boiling.
Add the dry mixture to the saucepan while whisking continuously to prevent clumping.
Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cereal thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat, and stir in the vanilla extract and sweetener, if desired.
Transfer the hot cereal to a serving bowl.
If desired, top with butter or coconut oil, fresh berries, or nuts for added flavor and texture.
Serve immediately and enjoy your warm, low-carb hot cereal!
