Help with hot flax seed cereal

[I_Luv_Pugs]

I've read on some posts that some have hot flax seed cereal for breakfast. is this made with flax seed meal and warmed cream? Is that all there is to it? Also, does the flax expand with liquid?

Thank for the help.

Hello there,
I enjoy my hot flaxmeal cereal in the morning. I make mine with 3 Tbls. Flaxmeal, 1/4-1/2 cup water, 1 Tbls. cream and your choice of sweetner. I eat it without sweetner. Microwave for 1 minute & 20 seconds on high in Microwave. Enjoy! Oh, The Flax doesn't expand much.

ok, YUM. I ate the cereal this morning. I used the 3 tbls of flaxmeal, 1/4 cup water, but 2 tbls heavy cream, splenda, and I also added a pat of butter. Even my 9 yo DD loved it along with myself and my husband. Thanks so much!!

the longer it sits in liquid and the warmer that liquid is the more it absorbs. it will sometimes get kinda gooey and at that point i just add hot water to thin it out if im not in the mood for it. I personally use 3 tblsp. ground flaxseed, 1 packet splenda, 2tsp. creme and 1/4 water. I like cinnamon in mine. I have also though about adding an eggs or 2. ill let ya know

Re: Help with hot flax seed cereal

I do feel like I need a bit more protein with the cereal to keep me going longer. I may have some bacon or sausage on the side in the future. Today I'm home for a mid-morning snack but yesterday I was in class and I got hungry by about 9:30am, and I ate about 6:30am.

Today I was reading some nutritional facts about flax and boy it's a highly nutritionally packed food.

I just looked at your signature and WOW you have lost 125 pounds! How awsome! If you ever post before and after pics let me know I love to see peoples transformation.

I use 1/3C flaxseed meal & 1/4tsp cinnamon & 1/2C water. I put the flax & cinnamon in a bowl, nuke the water til boiling & pour it over the cereal. I stir in 8 or 9 drops of liquid splenda and let it sit for a few minutes until it gets thick. Sometimes I stir in a teaspoon or so of wild blueberries. Nuke it again for a few seconds to get it hot.

I make a bunch up ahead of time by measuring out 1C flax meal & 3/4tsp cinnamon in a cannister & stir it up. Continue in like manner until the bag or box of flax meal is used up. I store a 1/3C measure in the cannister so in the morning all I have to do is heat the water, measure the cereal into a bowl, mix & add sweetener.
