Hot Vanilla Cinnamon Flax Cereal – Low Carb

flax cereal finishedOnce I found out I had PCOS and needed to adopt a low carb lifestyle I started to cut out my morning cereal routine. I was fine with eating eggs because I do love them. But, in the cooler weather months I miss my warm cereal.

Here is a recipe for a low carb hot cereal. It’s a combination of some trial and error of what finally worked out for me and my tastes.

This basic recipe can be changed and adapted to your tastes.

Boil 1/2 c water.

Reduce heat.

Slowly add 1/4 ground flax seed (or flax meal). Stir.

Add a dash of salt, Sugar Free Vanilla Coffee Syrup.

1 packet of Splenda (or a drop of liquid Stevia).

I then put a dash of cinnamon on the top.

My net carbs were 2.5 (0.5 for the packet of Splenda and 2 for 2 servings of my flax meal)

The consistency is a bit goopy. I read that some folks will add a scoop of low carb protein powder or wheat bran to thicken it up. I found it to be just fine for me.
