Keto Hot Chia Cereal
Our Keto cereal recipe contains only a few ingredients: chia seeds, unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, and some sweetener. The entire recipe is super easy to make as it is cooked in one saucepan. The recipe is straightforward to scale up to a larger batch for multiple people. This cereal is best eaten the day it is made. However, you can refrigerate any leftovers and eat as a cold chia pudding. Our Keto hot cereal is topped with frozen berries for a temperature contrast and cold heavy cream for extra fat. You will love this Keto-friendly cereal!
What if I am dairy-free?
If you are dairy-free, please use heavy coconut milk such as the kind that comes from a can.
What other toppings can I add?
Feel free to add additional toppings, like sugar-free dark chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or other low carb fruits like strawberries, plums, or even cherries. Another fun topping to consider is unsweetened coconut flakes.
Can I use other low carb sweeteners?
Yes! You can use Keto-friendly maple syrup or liquid stevia instead of the granulated erythritol that we used here.
Serving suggestions
To make the ultimate pairing, serve this Keto Hot Chia Cereal with our Keto Bacon and Eggs Frittata:

Sprinkle the pumpkin seeds on top and serve. Feel free to top the chia seed hot cereal with other low carb fruits and toppings like strawberries or unsweetened coconut flakes. If you like your cereal a bit sweeter, add a little extra sweetener or Keto maple syrup.

Was really surprised by how good this tasted and how full I felt after. Did take longer to cook I think than the recommended time but looked like tapioca when cooked. Great success

Do these chia seeds open up when cooked like they do when soaked over night? I get concerned of them getting stuck in throat as it happened to me before?

Yes they in fact open up better when heated.

Could you use Greek yogurt instead of almond milk?

This was surprisingly creamy and tasted great! For the sweetener, I used what I had, which was monk fruit.
