The great thing is that there are lots of variations for ingredients to include in your delicious keto dish, that will give you the same taste experience as regular oats while being low carb diet friendly and helping you to achieve your own personal health and weight loss goals.
The 4 Low-Carb Diet Ingredients
The good news is that you only need 4 core ingredients to create the perfect overnight oats bowl that’s low in total carbohydrates:
Unsweetened Almond Milk – is my keto diet friendly milk of choice, but you can feel free to swap for your go to low carb milk substitute, such as coconut milk or cashew milk, and also mix some heavy cream or coconut cream into the recipe for added healthy fats.
Greek Yogurt – for creaminess, healthy fats, added grams of protein and tangy flavor. Be sure to check the nutritional information carefully for any added or hidden carbs or sugars in your yogurt carton.
Seeds – I’ve included flax seeds and chia seeds in the easy recipe as a substitute for traditional oatmeal, but you can feel free to mix in a base of hemp hearts or hemp seeds which are also great alternatives for regular oatmeal.
Tasty Keto Toppings Ideas
As with a chia seed pudding, you can top your keto overnight oats with all kinds of your favorite toppings, here are some ideas that are low in g net carbs:
Nuts and Seeds – pumpkin seeds, almond slivers for a nice crunch or a tablespoon peanut butter or almond butter for added protein and creaminess.
Chocolate – cocoa powder, cacao powder, cacao nibs, keto chocolate or sugar free chocolate chips for a decadent chocolate bowl for breakfast.
Fruit – chopped strawberries, raspberries or a handful of blueberries. Or, you could make homemade chia jam with frozen fruit to enjoy as a sweet, berry topping.
Different Flavors – satisfy your taste buds by stirring through a little bit of stevia or your low carb sweetener of choice to sweeten, vanilla extract for a vanilla flavored bowl or lemon juice and lemon zest for a lemon infused breakfast.
Protein Powder – add in keto friendly protein powder for an elevated protein meal, especially perfect for busy mornings.
How To Make Keto Overnight Oats
To make the brilliant breakfast bowl that’s packed full of keto superfoods, the first thing you need to do is decide whether you’ll prepare the simple recipe in a bowl, mason jar or meal prepping airtight container.
Then, it’s really just a matter of adding in the four core ingredients – chia seeds, flax seeds, almond milk and yogurt.
You can add in stevia or whichever low carb sweetener you usually include in keto recipes if you’d prefer a sweeter breakfast bowl.
Mix the ingredients together until smooth and creamy, adding in more milk if the mixture is too thick or a few spoons of seeds if you think it’s way too runny. (Just remember that it will thicken considerably while in the fridge.)
Pop the keto overnight oats bowl into the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight to fully thicken, then enjoy with your low carb friendly toppings of choice. You can even take the sealed jar or airtight container to have a speedy breakfast on the go.
