Easy No Cook Noatmeal
This noatmeal is warm and comforting like oatmeal, but totally grain-free. It needs only a tiny bit of maple syrup for sweetening and fruit toppings to knock it out of the park. For variety, use different fruit on different days. This noatmeal is perfect for meal prep because, like instant oatmeal, it yields individual serving-size packs with no cooking required.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut, shredded
- 3 tbsp almond flour, or almond meal
- 2.5 tbsp flaxseed meal
- 1/8 tsp sea salt, (optional)
- 1/2 cup hot water
- 2 tsp pure maple syrup
Optional Toppings
- 2 tsp unsweetened coconut flakes
- 2 tsp slivered almonds
- 1/2 cup blueberries, or other fruit
- 2 tbsp walnuts, chopped
Instructions
- Mix the coconut, almond flour, flaxseed, and salt (if using) in a medium bowl until well blended.
- To use, put one serving of dry mix in a bowl and add ¼ cup hot water, or more to your desired consistency. Stir the mixture thoroughly and occasionally again over the next 5 minutes.
- To serve, add 1 teaspoon of maple syrup to the bowl and stir to combine. Top with your desired toppings and enjoy.
Notes
STORAGE: After step 1, the noatmeal can be stored in snack-size resealable storage bags. For grab-and-go, put maple syrup in 2- to 3-ounce containers and any nuts or coconut toppings in a separate bag. Portion the berries or fruit of your choice between 1-cup containers. Store cut fruit in the refrigerator up to 3 days or whole fruit or berries up to 5 days. For longer term, store the noatmeal in the freezer up to 6 months.
INGREDIENT TIP: Once flaxseed is ground, it should be used as soon as possible or stored in the freezer.
