Oatmeal has been around forever and is a super simple, quick and filling breakfast option. But even the stuff that’s 100% steel cut oats still contains a substantial amount of carbohydrates. Luckily, there are some low carb, keto oatmeal options that fill the gap.

Top 3 Keto Oatmeal Brands

#1 HighKey Instant Hot Cereal

Like their other snacks, HighKey knows exactly what they are doing. HighKey has been able to replicate the texture of oatmeal pretty much perfectly! There is a creaminess and thickness to the texture but also bits of nuts that adds a great crunchiness so it’s not mushy at all!  For the flavor, they add a perfect amount of sweetness and salt so overall both their flavors have a great balance! Did we also mention it’s only 1-2g net carb per serving and 13-14g of fat!

FOUR Flavors:

  • Cinnamon Spice
    • 1g net carb per 1/3 cup, 13g fat
    • PERFECT substitute for any cinnamon flavored oatmeal!

#3 LowKarb Keto Hot Cereal

LowKarb has come out with a few flavors of their keto oatmeal – Chocolate, Cinnamon Bun and Peanut Butter. These flavors have more of a blended (cream of wheat) with not many chunks or oat type texture like your typical oatmeal. They also could be considered less “natural” in the sense they’ve included more gums, powders, and fillers compared to the other two options.
