Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any low-carb milk)
- 1 tablespoon butter or coconut oil
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- Optional toppings: fresh berries, nuts, seeds, sugar-free syrup
Instructions:
In a medium saucepan, combine the almond flour, chia seeds, flaxseed meal, and salt.
Add the unsweetened almond milk, butter or coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
Stir well to combine.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent clumping.
Once the mixture begins to thicken, reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for 3-5 minutes, or until the desired consistency is reached.
Stir in the cinnamon and adjust the sweetness to your preference, if desired.
Remove from heat and let it sit for a minute to thicken further.
Serve hot with your choice of optional toppings such as fresh berries, nuts, seeds, or sugar-free syrup.
