Chunky Monkey Noatmeal is a warm, creamy bowl of low carb comfort made with the rich flavors of chocolate, banana, and nuts - all without a single oat! This easy grain-free breakfast is packed with fiber, ready in minutes, and perfect for anyone craving a hearty cereal without the carbs.
I love infusing banana and chocolate flavors into my meals. My recipe for Chunky Monkey Pancakes inspired me to recreate those flavors in a no grain cereal my family could enjoy and have it be just as satisfying as my pancakes.
