Swap traditional oats with ground flaxseeds to prepare a creamy low-carb porridge. Top it with berries, nuts, and yoghurt for a nutritious breakfast and start the day right!
Flaxseeds, or linseeds, are wondrous seeds packed with fibre, omega-3, and proteins. They’re gluten-free and naturally low in carbohydrates.
Flaxseeds are a great alternative to oats for porridge because they’re rich in soluble fibres. These fibres absorb liquids like milk or water, turning thick and jelly-like.
Using flaxseeds to prepare a creamy, grain-free porridge is super easy as you need just 2 ingredients:
- Ground flaxseeds — the ground form yields a smoother porridge and allows your body to better absorb the seeds’ nutrients. They’re also called flaxseed meal or flax meal, a fine powder made from milled whole flaxseeds.
- Milk — dairy milk or plant-based alternatives like soy or almond milk (or oat milk if you’re okay with more carbs).
Follow our recipe below to cook the flax porridge in just 5 minutes. Then, add healthy toppings to make it a fully balanced breakfast!
