This warm, comforting seed-based porridge is packed with hemp hearts, chia, and flax. The low-carb breakfast bowl thickens beautifully in minutes for a satisfying and creamy grain-free start to your morning.
Place the water, hemp hearts, heavy cream, flax meal, chia seeds, brown sugar substitute, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt in a small saucepan over medium heat. The mixture will look loose at first, but the seeds start hydrating almost as soon as the pan warms.
Cook the mixture until it reaches a gentle low boil and stir constantly for about 3 minutes. It is ready to leave the heat when the spoon starts tracing through a thick, creamy porridge and the bottom of the pan stays clean as you stir.
Take the saucepan off the heat and divide the hot oatmeal between two bowls. The porridge keeps thickening as it sits, so it should look just slightly looser in the pan than you want in the bowl.
Finish each bowl with Greek yogurt, mixed berries, and a drizzle of almond butter. The cool yogurt and berries contrast nicely with the warm base, while the almond butter softens and swirls over the top.
Notes
Thickening tip: The porridge continues to thicken as it rests off the heat, so pull it off the stove while it is slightly looser than your desired consistency.Prevent scorching: Stir constantly over medium heat to prevent the chia and flax seeds from settling and burning on the bottom of the saucepan.Reheating: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator. Reheat gently with a splash of warm low-carb milk or water to restore the creamy texture.Nutrition information is an estimate based on common ingredients and serving sizes.
