Hot Coconut Flaxseed Cereal

I read this recipe on a Facebook group of which I am a part.  It sounds like a tasty addition to the breakfast rotation.


HOT COCONUT FLAXSEED CEREAL

1/2 cup coconut milk, whole dairy milk, full-fat soymilk, or unsweetened almond milk
1/2 cup ground flaxseeds
1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
1/4 cup chopped walnuts, walnut halves or raw hulled sunflower seeds
ground cinnamon
1/4 cup sliced strawberries, blueberries or other berries (optional)

Combine the milk, ground flaxseeds, coconut flakes and walnuts or sunflower seeds in a microwaveable bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Serve topped with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a few berries if desired.
