Keto Oatmeal (aka Noatmeal or Low Carb Oatmeal)

Get ready to cozy up with a hearty and satisfying bowl of Keto Oatmeal (aka Noatmeal or Low Carb Oatmeal)! You’re less than 10 minutes away from a rich, creamy, and completely satisfying low carb breakfast.

Baby, it’s cold outside! Or at least it’s getting pretty dang chilly.

I can’t think of a better way to warm up in the morning than a bowl of Keto Oatmeal (also called Noatmeal or Low Carb Oatmeal). It’s thick and rich with a silky texture plus a little bit of chewiness from coconut (to simulate a bowl of regular oatmeal!), and a subtle vanilla sweetness.

Because this keto porridge is a blank slate, you can make this bowl your own with custom toppings! One of my favorites is butter + sugar-free brown sugar substitute.

If you miss oatmeal or porridge after going keto, this will change your life.

I first developed with a grain-free version of creamy porridge in 2013 when I shared my Paleo Cream of Wheat-Style Porridge. After that, I made a low carb and keto friendly version, and shared My Favorite Noatmeal recipe on my other site, Healthy Sweet Eats.

And now I’m sharing this keto hot cereal recipe, which has been simplified and streamlined!

If you eat low carb or keto friendly, you probably already have everything for this low carb oatmeal recipe already on hand.

No matter what your eating preference is – paleo, keto, low carb, gluten free, etc. – you don’t have to give up oatmeal! No oat oatmeal is the way to go.

Can I Have Oatmeal on the Keto Diet?

The thing to remember about a ketogenic lifestyle is that you want your body to maintain a state of nutritional ketosis. The point of that is to force your body to run on fat for fuel instead of on carbs. And the way we do that is by limiting our carbohydrate intake!

You can use a macro calculator to figure out how many macronutrients (i.e., carbohydrates, protein, and fat) your body needs to maintain a state of nutritional ketosis.

Once you figure out your macronutrient requirements, see if you can fit in the food you want to eat!

Pro Tip: You can fit just about any food you want into a keto diet! But if it’s something very high in carbs, such as regular oatmeal, your portion will be fairly small.

What is a Low Carb Alternative to Oatmeal?

If you’re thinking What can I eat instead of oatmeal?, you’re in the right place! This Keto Oatmeal  recipesatisfies like a hearty, warm bowl of oats, but without the carbs.

    Thank you so much for this awesome recipe! I have been enjoying it for breakfast this week! I am diabetic and have stayed away from all forms of oatmeal. What a great treat! Have you made a batch of it the night before to just heat up the next day?

      Tommi, Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m so happy you’re enjoying this recipe. I haven’t tried making this the night before and reheating it, so I’m not sure. I wonder if the texture would change? If you give it a try, please let me know how it goes! :)
