Place in the refrigerator over night, or a minimum of 4 hours. Open the next day and enjoy!
Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal
Flavor – This one has great flavor! Pumpkin Pie is a
favorite of ours, so if you have similar feelings then this one’s for
you. The elements that give this it’s signature flavor are the pumpkin
puree, pumpkin pie spice and a few drops of stevia.
Consistency – The consistency on this one was
definitely sub par. This one came out very thin and watery, not really
what we’re looking for in our keto oatmeal. We’ve improved it in the
official recipe.
Almond Joy Oatmeal
Flavor – Incredible! This is one of the few that we
nailed on our first attempt. I guess it’s pretty easy when you throw
together a bunch of delicious ingredients. This flavor is exactly like
an almond joy!
Consistency – Very firm, but in a good way. I quite
enjoyed the consistency of this one. While not that of a traditional
oatmeal it was a pleasant, compact collection of delicious ingredients.
Double Chocolate Oatmeal
Flavor – Kaboom! If you’re a dark chocolate fan then
this ones for you. It has an intense dark chocolate flavor from the
cocoa powder and Lily’s chocolate chips. Finishing this the next day
with some sea salt is highly encouraged!
Consistency – The chia seeds in this helped achieve a
mousse consistency which was great! Without the chia seeds this would
have been much more dense and due to the heavy cream used.
Maple Walnut Oatmeal
Flavor – Excellent flavor on this one. Good flavor
isn’t terrbile hard to achieve, it’s getting the consistency down that
can be tough. Maple walnut delivered one of our favorite flavor combos
of the bunch.
Consistency – The consistency on this one was off. We had to resort to drinking half of it since it was too thin to be eaten with a spoon.
Peanut Butter Oatmeal
Flavor – It’s peanut butter… It tastes incredible,
of course. The big surprise here was that only 1 tablespoon went a long
way. The peanut butter flavor really penetrated every morsel of this
keto oatmeal overnight.
Consistency – Almost perfect! Chia seeds and the
natural peanut butter added the right amount of thickness to the final
product. Just when we were ready to write off almond milk, peanut butter
happened!
Broats!!
Flavor – I guess some explanation is needed here.
BROats are oatmeal made to tailor specifically to the needs of “bros”.
That’s why this one is loaded up with protein powder. The flavor was on
point! It really depends what kind of protein powder you’re using as
that is the central source of flavor in this one.
Consistency – This was the best of the batch! The
protein, chia seeds and heavy whipping cream came through perfectly to
give this a thick and creamy consistency.
Turmeric Vanilla Oatmeal
Flavor – This was the lightning rod flavor of the
bunch. I found it to be decent, Megha hated it. If you are a big fan of
turmeric then give this one a go. If you’re not, then run far away.
Consistency – I generally like to err on the side of
a thicker consistency, but this one went too far in that direction. The
combination of chia seeds and coconut milk resulted in a rock solid
consistency. That can easily be fixed by adding more liquid, but the
lesson was learned.
Overnight Oats
We haven’t mentioned it yet, but these are
overnight oats!
It’s not completely mandatory to let these site overnight, but at least
give them a few hours in the fridge to allow all the flavors to
combine. We tend to make a batch of 5-10 at a time and let them sit in
the fridge until we’re ready. You really just need to be careful with
the ingredients you use as that will dictate the shelf life. Using heavy
cream will cut the shelf life down a tad bit in comparison to coconut
milk or almond milk.
Porridge Storage
Storage for these delicious concoctions can be a little tricky. It’s
super nice to have the awesome mason jars we have shown in the pictures
and they’re
found on Amazon.
My advice would be to do a few test batches first. You can store them
in anything really. Something with a lid is preferable so all of the
flavors of your fridge aren’t getting into your delicious keto oatmeal.
Once you figure out if you have a taste for keto oatmeal then you can
invest in those jars! I’ve found those jars to be a good size for this
purpose. Filling one of those jars with delicious keto oatmeal will be
somewhere between 200-600 calories depending on what ingredients you
use. Point being, there isn’t a need for the larger mason jars unless
you’re planning on filling them up with broats and firing off barbell
curls in the squat rack.
