Keto Cream of Wheat
I just had to come up with a keto cream of wheat recipe. This warms you from the inside out. I love eggs, but I sometimes need other breakfast ideas. This recipe is so good and it satisfies that cream of wheat craving without going off-plan. This breakfast so super fast to make it can be enjoyed any day of the week.
Warm Cereal Without All The Carbs
Before going keto I used to have cereal or cream of wheat just about every day. So, when I went keto I had to find some way to still have that yummy cream of wheat kind of breakfast and this does it for me. I don’t miss the sugar-laden cereals at all, but I did miss the warm cereals like this. Now, I can have it without all the carbs.
Add What You Like
You can add berries, unsweetened coconut shavings, nuts, extracts, spices, etc. Be creative and make your favorites. I really like pumpkin pie spice or berries and almond slivers. The nutrition is just for the cream of wheat base, not with any additions. Be sure to count your carbs from any additions you add.

I made those last night. It’s pretty darn close and definitely delish! I’m a Cream Of Wheat connoisseur, having eaten 1000’s of bowls since I was a baby. If I wasn’t doing intermittent fasting, I’d be making another bowl right now! Thanks for helping me enjoy my favorite hot cereal again!

Can you use almond flour instead of coconut flour?
March 9, 2019 @ 2:57 pm
Hollie, I have never tried it with almond flour but I don’t see why it would not work. Add of almond flour for the coconut flour and just cook it a bit longer until it thickens. If it is too loose after a few minutes of cooking and whisking add a little more almond flour until it thickens. That should work fine. Hope that helped.😁

I fall on my knees and thank you for sharing this! You have saved my sanity and stomach. lol I’m a breakfast person. After beginning this keto journey with my husband, I longed for my carb-loaded breakfast yummies. Out of desperation I googled for the answer, and your link came up. I did not have coconut flour on hand so I used almond flour. I ended up using 6T of it in order to achieve the thickness that I like in my cream of wheat. Thank you again from a warm and satisfied belly. 😁

Thanks Jennifer so glad you liked our recipe. I love cream of wheat as well so I just had to develop a keto-friendly recipe that would satisfy that craving. Thank you for the comment and check out our other breakfast items. I will be posting a cinnamon bun recipe in the coming weeks as well.😁

Have you ever made a large batch of the mix so that each morning you can just grab 5 total TBS instead of separately? Im lazy, just trying to save a step. :). Im assuming this would work?
January 9, 2021 @ 1:25 pm
Ken, I have not tried that but I do not see why it would not work. 😁
January 11, 2021 @ 8:45 pm
It should work, I cant see why not. Some scientist chef (Alton Brown) would probably tell us otherwise, but Ill give it a shot! 🙂

Your nutrition facts show per 1 gram. Is this supposed to be for the whole 3/4 cup serving?
January 14, 2021 @ 5:29 pm
I’m sorry I am not sure what you mean. Can you please clarify your question?
February 15, 2021 @ 9:11 am
I’m going to try this this morning, it’s -20 outside and I just need something warm to eat.
I love cream of wheat and am excited to try this and loved reading the positive comments!
