Aunt Rocky’s Nut Free Hot Cereal (Low Carb, Gluten Free)

Put all dry ingredients for the cereal mix into a bowl and stir. Pour boiling water into bowl and stir again. Let sit about 3 minutes to thicken. Add cream, butter, syrup, and nuts (if using).

Reheat in microwave for 30 seconds if needed. Serve.

Notes:
1. I make this up in single serving packets to take traveling. Add all of the cereal mix ingredients to a snack size zip bag and mix. They go right into your suitcase for use when you get where you’re going. I would add extra brown sugar substitute sweetener in the mix to not have to deal with syrup in the final product for travel. Then just add boiling water, cream and/or butter. To take to work, make hot cereal, place in a microwaveable container with tight lid, and reheat when you get there.
2. Oat Fiber thickens this cereal, and contributes to its smooth texture. I use Lifesource brand to assure a gluten free product. Oat fiber is not the grain from the oats, just the fiber from the hulls. If you choose to omit it, replace with 1 tablespoon ground chia seeds to thicken.
3. I don’t get any kickback for products I use in my recipes. Brand names are included only to assure more accurate nutritional estimates. Nutrition information is based on My Fitness Pal’s online recipe analyzer. The recipe is stored there and available to MFP users for logging in their food diaries. Sugar alcohols and liquid Sucralose are excluded from nutrition counts, as they are not absorbed by the body and rate zero on the glycemic index.
