If you're anything like me when you've given up most all grains and wheat, after a while you might miss a nice warm bowl of oatmeal. I'm one of those types of people that doesn't care if it's 7000 degrees outside and we are walking on the sun, if I want some oatmeal I'm going to make it. This is a seriously wonderful recipe for just that, but it's healthy and has natural fats, too. This is easy to make and is even a great breakfast meal for the kids if you want to control their sugar. Dairy Free & Gluten Free = Yay!

Ingredients:

2 cups pecans — you can save money if you buy them in bulk like this

2 Tbsp flax seeds

2 Tbsp chia seeds — where to find

pinch sea salt

milk of choice

toppings of choice

Directions:

Place first four ingredients into a high-powered blender or food processor and process/pulse until ground (be careful not to overdo it, or you will get pecan butter!)

Place into a glass jar to store in the fridge

When you want to make the hot cereal, just heat up 1 cup of your favorite milk (we use raw milk, but you can certainly use non-dairy milks) and add 3/4-1 cup of the mixture, depending on how thick you want your no-oatmeal

Heat over medium heat in a saucepan on the stovetop, stirring continuously until it begins to thicken

Remove from heat and allow to sit for about 5 more minutes, it will thicken up even more

Makes about 2 1/2 cups of prepared hot cereal, it thickens and expands

Stir in your favorite toppings, we prefer grass-fed butter and raisins! We also add in homemade granola and spices too!
