Notes

Adjust Thickness: If your keto oatmeal is too thick, add a splash more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.

Sweetness Level: Customize the sweetness by adjusting the amount of your favorite sugar substitute.

Storage Tip: Make the dry mix ahead of time and store it in an airtight jar—perfect for busy mornings!

Stovetop Option: No microwave? You can easily cook it on the stove over medium heat, stirring often until it reaches a creamy texture.

Storage instructions

Fridge: After cooling to room temperature, store cooked keto oatmeal in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just reheat and enjoy!

Reheating: Add a splash of almond milk when reheating to keep it creamy and smooth. Zap it in the microwave for a minute or two, or reheat it on the stove.

Meal Prep Mix: Make a big batch of the dry mix and store it in a jar in the pantry for a month or in the fridge for up to 2 months. It's great for quick breakfasts!
