Made in 10 minutes, this comforting keto Chocolate Flaxseed Porridge is sugar free and full of fiber. Made with ground flaxseeds.
This easy healthy breakfast comes together in no time. It is perfect for a vegan keto diet, but really is for anyone. It is high in fiber and is sugar free.
You can make enough of the dry ingredients to last a week or more, and then add the unsweetened almond milk and cook it when you are ready to eat it.
It makes it very convenient for busy mornings. Once the dry ingredients are combined, it only take about 5 minutes to cook.
It is similar to oatmeal, but made with flaxseeds. It has a similar texture. The difference is it has a nutty taste.

🧾 Ingredients
This is an overview of the ingredients. To see the full list of ingredients with measurements and instructions, see the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
- Ground flaxseed: Adds a nutty flavor. You can buy ground flaxseeds or you can buy flaxseeds and grind them yourself in a coffee grinder or Nutribullet with the milling blade. You could also use chia seeds to make a chia seed porridge.
- Superfine almond flour: I like the flavor and texture of almond flour. You could also use coconut flour to keep it keto. I haven't tested this recipe with coconut flour so just note that it absorbs more liquid than almond flour. I suggest starting with ¼ the amount of almond flour.
- Cacao powder: You could also use cocoa powder.
- Salt: Enhances flavors and brings out sweetness.
- Almond extract: I love the flavor it adds, but if you can leave it out.
- Almond milk: I used unsweetened almond milk. If you aren't on a low carb or keto diet, you could use sweetened. You could also use cashew milk, oat milk, soy milk, or another dairy free milk. You could also use full fat coconut milk to help you meet your micronutrient goals
- Stevia: You could use any sugar free sweetener you like to keep it keto. You could also use maple syrup, agave syrup, or your favorite sweetener if you are not watching the sugar content.
🔪 Instructions
- Mix ground flaxseeds, almond flour, cacao powder, and salt in a bowl. Add unsweetened almond milk, almond extract, and stevia. Stir to combine.
- Cook in a small saucepan on the stovetop until thickened. This can be made in the microwave if you prefer.
🥡 Storage
This keto porridge recipe will last about 5 days in an airtight container in the fridge.
💭 Tips
- If you don't like stevia, you could use your favorite sweetener.
- I like to quadruple the batch of the dry ingredients and keep it in my fridge. I just measure out the dry ingredients and then add the wet ingredients and cook it in the microwave. That way I can I have a quick breakfast when needed. I don't worry about getting exact measurements of everything when making it this way.
📖 Variations / Additions
- Cinnamon, nutmeg, or other spices
- Almond butter or another keto nut butter
- Peanut butter (in moderation for keto)
- Coconut milk
- Coconut flakes

Do you have a version of this recipe with coconut flour by chance? I can’t have almonds.
Willow Moon says
I don’t, but I looked it up and the ratio for substituting is 1/4 of the almond flour. So you could start with 1 tablespoon of coconut flour, check consistency, and add more if needed. Hope the helps! I also have a “Spiced Chia Seed Porridge” recipe that’s vegan keto.
