This Keto Oatmeal Recipe is as close as you will get to real porridge on a low-carb diet. It is a quick and easy breakfast to make, and there’s nothing quite like a filling bowl of hot cereal on a cold morning!

Low Carb Oatmeal is very easy to customize to your tastes;
- For cinnamon – add 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- For brown sugar – sprinkle over 1 tablespoon of Sukrin Gold
- For double chocolate chip – add 1 teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder and 2 tablespoons of Lily’s Dark Chocolate Chips
This Keto Oatmeal recipe makes 1 serving. 1 serving is approximately 1 cup of low-carb porridge.
One serve of our Keto Porridge is only 4g net carbs – which is tiny compared to a regular bowl of oatmeal containing 23g net carbs!
We recommend making this quick and easy breakfast fresh to order. It can be made the night before and microwaved when you get to work, but you may need to add additional liquid.

Is oatmeal low-carb and keto-friendly?
Oatmeal is not low-carb or keto-friendly it is very high in carbohydrates, 100g of oatmeal contains 12g of carbs.Â
On the other hand, our keto oatmeal substitute recipe (not really oatmeal but chia seed and flaxseed) is very low-carb, high in fiber, and is loaded with many more healthy fats such as omega-3’s than you’ll find in oats.

Hi thank you for this recipe, I’m confused about one thing. It’s said that this only contains 4 grams of carbs, but the button facts on the page says that this contains 21 grams of carbs. Could you please clarify?
Hi Danny, it’s 4 grams net carbs. Which is total carbs minus fiber. Hope that helps.
