This Maple Walnut Noatmeal is about to change the way you think about breakfast in the morning. It is a grain free, oat free, hot cereal made with almond flour, hemp seeds, chia seeds, and flax meal.
Flavored with vanilla and maple extract, this Noatmeal just needs a drizzle of sugar free maple syrup to finish it off (or real maple syrup if you are paleo).

Low Carb Keto Breakfast
I never was a huge fan of oatmeal before I did low carb diets. However, for some reason, when I no longer was allowed oats in my diet, I seemed to crave them! Thankfully I had made this recipe for Chunky Monkey Noatmeal a few years back and decided that I needed another version of noatmeal to go to.
I am a huge fan of maple flavor. I grew up with maple production all around me. My dad even tapped trees for a while when I was an early teen. Maple Walnut has always been a favorite combination. So, I decided to make a low carb noatmeal with maple flavor and toasted walnuts.
🥘 Ingredients

Almond meal or flour, I like to use a coarser almond meal like this one.
Flax meal, this adds fiber and is high in omega-3 fatty acids.
Hemp seed is high in protein and fiber.
Chia seed adds a powerful punch with more fiber and protein and they also contain a good amount of zinc, b-vitamins, and potassium.
Unsweetened vanilla almond milk, I always buy unsweetened, be sure that is what you are buying as well if you want to keep the sugar out of the cereal.
Maple extract, to give that deep maple flavor. I use this brand.
Vanilla extract, to balance out the flavor with the maple.
Toasted walnuts give a rich delicious flavor to this noatmeal and compl
Blackberries (optional)
🔪 Instructions
- Place the salt, flaxseed, chia seed, hemp seed, and almond meal in a large saucepan. Stir to combine.
- Pour the almond milk into the saucepan and whisk until blended. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Turn heat down to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes.
- Top with blackberries, walnuts, and chia seed (if using).
💭 Top Tips
- To toast the walnuts, place them in a 400 degree oven or air fryer. Toast for 2 - 3 minutes, or until walnuts start to turn golden brown.
- To reduce the risk of lumpy cereal, whisk the noatmeal constantly while cooking until it has thickened.
- Serve with ½ cup of almond milk to thin out and cool down the noatmeal.
📖 Variations
- Before assembling the bowl, stir in 1 tablespoon of salted butter and ¼ cup of brown sugar erythritol.
- Substitute the blackberries for sliced bananas (this increases the carb count and if keto may knock you out of ketosis).
