Recipe Notes

• To make the vegan version, take out the egg, replace the gelatin with a vegan protein powder, replace the honey with maple syrup and add in 2 tbsp of ground flax instead of 1 tbsp.
• For the low-carb option, you can remove the honey and if you want, you can replace it with a low-carb sweetener like stevia (I like this brand--no weird additives). Without honey this no oats oatmeal has only 6 Net Carbs! With 18 grams of carbs and 12 grams of fiber. You can see the full nutrition facts at the bottom of the recipe below.
• I used ground chia seeds in the recipe because I like the texture better, but you can also use whole chia seeds and it will still work fine!
• I find that golden flax seeds have a lighter less intense flavor than regular brown flax seeds so I prefer using golden. 
• To grind flax seeds or chia seeds, just process the seeds in a coffee grinder. You can also buy already ground flax seeds, but I find freshly ground lends the best flavor.
• When mixing the low carb oatmeal over the heat, be sure to not to heat it too high and continuously mix it to keep it from burning on the bottom.
• You can make savory low carb oatmeal by adding butter, salt and garlic powder. To make it sweet add a low carb sweetener or maple syrup and some cinnamon or fruit.
