Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Unsweetened almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon Shredded coconut (unsweetened)
- 1 tablespoon Ground flaxseed
- 0.25 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 pinch Salt
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1 teaspoon Maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- as desired Fresh fruit or nuts (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the almond flour, chia seeds, shredded coconut, ground flaxseed, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Add the almond milk to the bowl and stir until fully combined. The mixture should resemble a batter-like consistency.
Microwave the mixture on high for 1 minute. Carefully remove the bowl and stir to ensure even cooking.
Return the bowl to the microwave and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, stopping to stir every 30 seconds. The mixture should thicken and take on the texture of oatmeal.
Remove the bowl from the microwave and let it sit for 1 minute to allow the chia seeds to fully absorb the liquid.
If desired, drizzle the mock oatmeal with maple syrup and top with fresh fruit or nuts for added flavor and texture.
Serve warm and enjoy your quick and healthy microwave mock oatmeal!
