Confession: I prefer my “no-oat meal” cold. Maybe it reminds me of ice cream? Or maybe I’m just weird like that.
Anyway, I assume you are not weird like me, and would prefer yours hot. No worries! It’s super easy to make this a hot meal. If you like it hot, just pour the mixture into a small pot and heat it up – it may thicken up a bit more that way, so add more water (or dairy-free milk of choice, if you like it a creamier texture) if need be.
Pro Tip! Be sure to use fresh whole flax seeds (you can store them in the fridge or in an airtight container) and grind them as you use them. This is because the ground flax meal you can buy in the stores will go rancid quickly.
There is no limit to the variety of flavor combinations you can create, so let your imagination go wild!
Here are some of my favorite mix-in combos:
- Blueberry & Coconut – add fresh or frozen blueberries (I prefer the teeny tiny wild berries, pictured above) and shredded, unsweetened coconut
- Apple-Cinnamon – add diced or finely shopped apple (I like mine chunky, so I chop roughly) and more cinnamon
- Mocha-Cacao – add about a Tbsp each of brewed coffee or espresso AND cacao powder for a strong mocha flavor
- Banana-Nut – add 1/2 a banana and your favorite nuts of choice (I like pecans, almonds, or walnuts with this one)
- Sweet, Salty & Savory – add a variety of nuts and seeds (pumpkin seeds or pepitas, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, almonds, walnuts, pecans, pistachios, etc.)
Try one of these or create your own flavor combo and let me know how it goes for you!
