I am trying to locate Dinah's recipe I have heard so much about for the Hot Flax Seed Cereal. I tried to find it in this section of the forum - maybe I am staring at it!! (Sorry, if that is the case)

Thanks
Coleen

OMG I tried this last night as a snack and it is really satisfying, like oatmeal. It gets pretty thick so I added 1/4 cup water and I only nuked it for 1 minute and much better. I added butter and cinnamon & splenda and I am so happy to have tried it. I love oatmeal, and I'm going to try using the flax seed in place of breadcrumbs for my old meatloaf recipe and see what happens, actually I think I'll try 1/2 the flax & 1/2 parmesean to see how that works out.

This hot cereal is a wonderful alternative and a nice little snack that is really filling because it's all fiber. Thanks Dinah, Colleen & Billie!!!!

I love this recipe. I also made some adjustments of my own. I add peanut butter and agave nectar (low glycemic) to the cereal. It is my treat for the day. It is so good and satisfying.

I found a LC Hot Cereal recipe in Low Carb mag (now in print only on line) about a year ago, I think its great and it has lots of possibilities.
1 C Falxmeal
1 C vanilla protein powder
1/2 C Wheat bran
1/4 C Oat bran
1/2 C raw almonds, coarsely ground
1/4 C raw unsalted sunflower kernels, coarsely ground
Each serving is about 5.5 G.

Combine all ingredients, makes about 14, 1/4 C servings.
The rec. calls for 4 oz. of water, I like it a little runny so I add 6 oz.
Nuke it for 1 1/2 to 2 mins. stopping 2 or 3 times to stir.
Add butter and enjoy.

Diane,

I also love this but also think it is thick.Did you had the water AND the cream??I put alittle vanilla coffee creamer in it with alittle splenda and cinnamon.It's quite yummy. I know I shouldn't probably be usin the creamer,but it's all I had.

Rodie,

It does come out quite thick. For myself, I stir in extra boiling water. I don't put it in the microwave. I just pour boiling water over the top and keep adding until it's the consistency I like. Then I put a little Smart Balance/butter and cream on top with some Splenda and cinnamon. The other day I used peanut butter and it was great. Hope this helps.

to be honest, when i posted the "recipe" i estimated on quantities. Cause when I make it, I just "eyeball" it. So it probably would do better with more of the liquid of your choice....

I haven't made this in a really long time. I need to!!!

Dinah:Thanks for this recipe.It is a great substitution for cream of wheat and the fiber in the flaxseed is an added benefit.

Very Happy

Dianh. I too wanted to thank you for this awesome breakfast. I had no time this morning and threw it togehter and adored it. The only probably I had is that it filled me up so much, that I had to MAKE myself eat lunch. I don't think I have ever had that problem in my entire life!! Just crazy Laughing

I got an original recipe online that uses 1/2 c flax meal, 1/2 c water and 1 beaten egg. I mix that together and let it sit for almost a minute then microwave for 1 min. Then I add SF Vanilla syrup, cinnamon, heavy cream and butter. Microwave for another 45 seconds. Sam likes it for a snack sometimes! Definitely filling!
