Creamy brown 'sugar'-vanilla-pecan breakfast 'cereal'...

[LCJen]

:yum: Sooooo good!!! :yum:

2 tbs. butter
1 tsp. sugar twin grannulated brown
1 packet splenda
1/3 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tbs. finely chopped pecans
1 tbs. heavy cream
3 tbs. water
3 tbs. flaxmeal

Microwave liquid ingredients until boiling, add dry ingredients and heat through until hot. Stir, and enjoy!

I think there are about 3 net carbs in this breakfast.

Delicious, filling, high fiber.

Let me know what you guys think when you try it out. I'm eating it for breakfast right now, and I think it's better than any hot cereal I've ever had.

I've read that you're not supposed to cook with flax oil as it is very unstable and the oil will turn rancid and produce trans fats.
Whole flax seed are ok because their hull protects them.
I'm not sure what happens to the ground seeds (flax meal) if boiling water is added, as in this recipe?

Any ideas? I'd love to try this recipe as I seriously miss my morning oatmeal.

I've cooked with ground flax seeds alot in the past; baking, microwave, and boiling water method, and have never had rancid problems.

Whole flax seeds are indigestible anyway.
