No Oats Bulk Recipe
This No Oats bulk recipe is a family favorite at our house and was created as a low carb oatmeal substitute.Traditional oatmeal, despite its healthy reputation, can send blood sugar levels on a wild ride. Even when paired with protein, the high carb content in oats often leads to energy crashes, jitters, and mid-morning hunger. I discovered this firsthand while wearing a continuous glucose monitor during recipe development for Levels Health – the data showed dramatic blood sugar spikes even with "healthy" oatmeal preparations.Enter NO OATS – a game-changing breakfast that mimics the convenience and comfort of overnight oats, but with a stable blood-sugar response. This blend of nutrient-dense seeds delivers the satisfying texture of oatmeal while packing in fiber, healthy fats, and protein. Whether prepped the night before or made fresh in minutes, this versatile breakfast works as hard as you do to keep energy levels steady all morning.The best part? Unlike traditional oatmeal that can leave you hungry an hour later, this power-packed combination provides sustained energy without the crash. My family grabs their jars of NOATS for busy mornings, and I love knowing they're getting a truly nutritious start to their day.
Ingredients
- 2 cups hemp hearts
- 2 cups ground flax
- 2 cups chia seeds or basil seeds
- 4 tbsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp cardamom
Instructions
- In a large lidded jar, add all 5 ingredients
- Shake well
- Store the jar in the refrigerator
- To make a single serving, add ⅓ cup of No Oats to a lidded jar or bowl and mix with 1/2 cup nut milk, dairy milk, or water. Note that if you use basil seeds, you will likely need more liquid as basil seeds soak up more than chia seeds. Store your covered jar or bowl in the refrigerator overnight.

Notes
The nutrition information calculated here is for a half cup serving. This is the serving size my husband eats. I eat about 1/3 cup so the nutrition calculation would be different for 1/3 cup.
