Ingredients for Gluten-Free Coco Wheats
- 3 tablespoons ground milled chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Swerve® confectioner’s sweetener
- Pinch of sea salt
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
Instructions for Making Gluten-Free Coco Wheats
- Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a medium bowl, mix together the chia seeds, flaxseed, unsweetened cocoa powder, Swerve® confectioner’s sweetener, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir to combine evenly. - Heat the Coconut Milk and Water:
In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of coconut milk with 1 cup of water. Heat the mixture over medium heat, bringing it to a simmer. - Add the Chia Mixture:
Once the coconut milk and water are simmering, add the dry chia seed mixture to the pan. Stir continuously to prevent any lumps from forming and to ensure the ingredients are evenly combined. - Cook the Coco Wheats:
Reduce the heat to low-moderate and continue to cook the mixture, stirring frequently, for about 4-5 minutes. The mixture will thicken as the chia seeds absorb the liquid. Once the liquid is mostly absorbed and the texture becomes thick and creamy, remove the pan from the heat. - Serve and Top:
Spoon the gluten-free Coco Wheats into a bowl. Top with your favorite fruit for added natural sweetness, or sprinkle some dairy-free chocolate chips for an extra touch of indulgence.
Pro Tips for Perfect Coco Wheats
- Customize the Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter breakfast, feel free to adjust the amount of Swerve® sweetener to your taste. You can also add a dash of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
- Add Fresh Fruit: Topping your Coco Wheats with fresh fruit, such as berries, bananas, or sliced apples, adds natural sweetness and a burst of vitamins.
- Texture Adjustment: If you like your Coco Wheats a bit thinner, simply add a little more coconut milk or water until you reach your desired consistency.
