Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: Paleo
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Fresh fruit for topping
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: almond flour, coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and fresh fruit for topping.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of almond flour and 1 tablespoon of chia seeds. Mix them together until well combined.
- Pour in 1 cup of coconut milk and stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure there are no lumps. The coconut milk will provide creaminess to the porridge.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking or clumping.
- Once the mixture starts to simmer, reduce the heat to low and continue to cook for about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally, allowing the porridge to thicken to your desired consistency.
- If you are using maple syrup, add 1 tablespoon at this stage along with 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir well to incorporate the sweetener and flavoring into the porridge.
- After cooking for a total of 10 minutes, remove the saucepan from the heat. Let the porridge sit for a minute or two to cool slightly and thicken further.
- While the porridge is cooling, prepare your fresh fruit toppings. You can use berries, sliced bananas, or any other fruit of your choice.
- Once ready, divide the porridge into two bowls. Top each bowl with your choice of fresh fruit.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your warm, nourishing Paleo Grain Free Porridge!
Tips
- Whisk Constantly: To prevent lumps, continuously whisk the almond flour and coconut milk while cooking.
- Customize Your Consistency: If you prefer a thinner porridge, add a little more coconut milk. For a thicker texture, cook a few minutes longer.
- Elevate Your Toppings: Experiment with different fresh fruits, nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon to add extra flavor and nutrition.
- Make Ahead Friendly: This porridge can be prepared in advance and gently reheated, making it perfect for busy mornings.
- Quality Matters: Use high-quality, fresh ingredients - especially the coconut milk and almond flour - for the best flavor and texture.
- Watch Your Heat: Keep the temperature on medium-low to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
