Cocoa, Almond and Flaxseed Oatmeal

This hearty breakfast porridge is perfect for cold mornings and makes a great base for adding different flavors and toppings. A very small amount of real oats gives it an authentic texture and flavor but the bulk of the cereal is almond flour and flaxseed meal, which are low-carb and packed full of energy and nutrients for a brilliant start to your day!
