This easy healthy Chocolate Flaxseed Porridge comes together in no time. It is perfect for a vegan keto diet but really is for anyone. It is high in fiber, low carb, and sugar-free. Check out my Keto Vegan Breakfast Recipes for more ideas.
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 takes about 5 minutes to cook.
Chocolate Flaxseed Porridge is similar to oatmeal but made with flaxseeds. It has a similar texture. The difference is it has a nutty taste.
I added fresh berries and sliced almonds to the top of my porridge. You could also add coconut flakes, cacao nibs, or your favorite toppings.
Other porridge recipes are my Vegan Peanut Butter Porridge and my Chocolate Quinoa Porridge recipe. A sugar-free recipe to try is my Chocolate Fat Bombs with Cherries.

❤️ Why You'll Love It
- It's perfect for meal prepping.
- It's ready in 10 minutes.
- It is low-carb and sugar-free.
🧾 Ingredients
- Ground flaxseed (flaxseed meal): Adds a nutty flavor. I used half golden flaxseeds and half brown flaxseeds. You can buy ground flaxseeds or you can buy whole flaxseeds and grind them yourself in a coffee grinder or Nutribullet with the milling blade. You could also use chia seeds to make chia 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. You could also add in some nut butter.
- Cacao powder: You could also use cocoa powder.
- Salt: Enhances flavors and brings out the sweetness.
- Almond extract: I love the flavor it adds, but 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 other plant-based 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.

- 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 them in the microwave. That way I can have a quick breakfast when needed. I don't worry about getting exact measurements of everything when making it this way.

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.
