Honestly, I was never much of an oatmeal fan back when I was eating carbs.
I mean, why waste the carbs on something like a bowl of oats? 😉
These days, though…I just crave it.
Warm, hearty, filling, nutritious. It seems like the best way to start the day and so I had to come up with an alternative.
I’ve shared a keto oatmeal topped with fresh berries and a drizzle of warm almond butter awhile ago and it’s a total favorite around here.
I doctored that recipe up a bit to make it pumpkin flavored.
Ingredients Needed:
We use Thrive Market for a lot of our specialty ingredients and keto snacks or products. Their prices tend to be cheaper than the local stores and I love that you can so easily sort products by diet.
Like Costco, this is a membership site, but we find that it’s more than worth it based on the amount we save over the regular grocery store.
They have monthly or yearly plans. Check it out here.
Hemp Hearts: Hemp hearts (or hemp seeds) are a superfood! They’re the seed of the hemp plant, a great source of protein, packed with vitamins and minerals, and they’re high in both fat and fiber. We use this brand.
Chia Seeds: Another super food containing loads of vitamins, antioxidants, fiber, and protein. We use this brand.
Flax Meal: Another fantastically healthy seed! High in omega-3 fats, lignans, and fiber. We use this brand.
Sweetener: I’ve long been a fan of Lakanto Monkfruit. It’s a 1:1 sugar replacer, tastes like sugar, and has ZERO impact on blood glucose, which means you can count it as zero net carbs. We use it so much that we asked the company for a coupon code for our readers. Use THATLOWCARBLIFE for 20% off your order at lakanto.com.
How to:
Add water, hemp hearts, pumpkin, flax seed, chia seed, sweetener, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt to a sauce pan and bring it to a boil.
Stir constantly until the mixture is thick. This will take 3-4 minutes.
Stir in a little vanilla and pour the mixture into a serving bowl.
We like to top our pumpkin noatmeal with some chopped pecans and a drizzle of cream.
A bit of maple syrup substitute would also be delicious here!
Reheating:
This will reheat well in the microwave or on the stove. Just add a splash of cream or almond milk and heat until warm.

22 Grams!!
That’s my entire daily allotment!! I find it very problematic to consume so many carbs all at once. This can easily throw a person out of Keto for a good portion of the day. If I’m going to consciously consume carbs I prefer to spread them out over the full day, much easier to stay in Keto all day long that way. I
Karly Campbell says
The majority of people doing keto are counting net carbs, not total. At 3 net carbs, this would fit nicely into just about any keto plan, but I get that not every recipe will work for every person.
Carol Burrows says
Not sure how net carbs are 3. I though the formula was carbs minus fiber. Can anyone explain this math?
Karly Campbell says
Hi Carol! We calculate net carbs by subtracting the fiber AND sugar alcohols from the total carbs. We use erythritol for the sweetener, which has no impact on blood glucose and can be counted as zero carbs. If you use another type of sweetener, you may want to adjust – some sweeteners we avoid entirely or only deduct half. 🙂
