Ingredients in Faux Oatmeal
To make the base recipe for this hot & delicious creamy grain free oatmeal, you are going to need:
- Flaked unsweetened coconut – coconut flakes mimics the texture of rolled oats. We like to use the flaked coconut from Bob’s Red Mill since they are similar in size and shape to old-fashioned rolled oats.
- hemp hearts – adds fiber, protein and texture
- Coconut flour – a gluten free flour that bulks up your faux oatmeal. You can also sub with almond flour or almond meal. Be sure to increase the amount to 1/4 cup instead.
- Canned full fat coconut milk – adds creaminess and makes your oatmeal delicious. You can also sub with unsweetened almond milk but be sure to use a creamy and thick brand. We like Malk Organics since it’s super thick and creamy.
- water
OPTIONAL BUT RECOMMENED
- ground cinnamon (optional but adds delicious flavor)
- vanilla extract (optional but adds delicious flavor)
- unrefined sweetener: coconut sugar, maple syrup or granulated maple sugar
Optional toppings:

- peanut butter

sliced almonds - unsweetened shredded coconut
