Ingredients
  

Here's what you need to create this mouthwatering breakfast:
  • 1/2 cup raw shelled hemp seeds hemp hearts
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon adds warmth and depth
  • 2 tablespoons finely milled flaxseed
  • 1 tablespoon whole chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar alternative, optional
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract enhances sweetness
  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut milk or milk of choice

Method

Step 2: Mix Your Dry Ingredients
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the hemp seeds, flaxseed, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and your sugar alternative if you choose to use it. The mixture should be well blended.
Step 3: Add in the Wet Ingredients
  1. Next, pour in your unsweetened coconut milk (or your preferred milk) and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
Step 4: Heat It Up
  1. Transfer the mixture to a small saucepan. Over medium heat, bring it to a gentle simmer while stirring frequently. This should take about 3-5 minutes. You want it hot and slightly thickened.
Step 5: Serve
  1. Once it's heated through, pour it into a bowl. Now comes the creativity! Top it with your favorite fruits, nuts, or seeds.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge if you make extra for later.
  • For extra creaminess, increase the milk slightly.
  • Mix and match sweeteners; erythritol or stevia work well.
  • A tablespoon of nut butter can add flavor and creaminess.
Experiment with spices like ginger or nutmeg for additional flavor.
