Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the almond milk, chia seeds, flaxseed meal, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir the mixture well to ensure seeds are evenly distributed.

Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, erythritol brown sugar substitute, and maple extract until well combined.
Taste and adjust sweetness according to your preference, keeping in mind that the flavor continues to develop as the mixture cools slightly.
Transfer the low-carb 'oatmeal' into a serving bowl.

Serve immediately, and enjoy your low-carb, high-nutrient meal reminiscent of traditional maple brown sugar oatmeal.
