What is porridge?
Oatmeal, grits, porridge, hot cereal: there are all types of thick, hot breakfast dishes that all seem so similar. Porridge is traditionally made with ground oats or rice. It’s the addition of milk or hot water that turns it into the creamy mixture that is porridge. For your Keto porridge recipe, you’ll be making it with ground flax seeds and coconut flour.
Porridge toppings
This recipe is topped with coconut milk and blueberries. For a more savory topping, try drizzling cashew cream or sprinkling sliced almonds over the top. If you really like coconut, unsweetened coconut flakes also make a scrumptious porridge topping.
I don’t like coconut
You can substitute coconut flour in this recipe with almond flour. Skip the coconut milk, and stir warm almond milk into your porridge instead! Add any other toppings that you’d like at your discretion.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon flax seeds
- 2 tablespoon coconut flour by nutiva
- ¾ cup water
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoon butter
- 1 tablespoon coconut milk
- ⅛ cup blueberries
Instructions
- Add ground flax seeds, coconut flour, water and salt to a small saucepan. Heat the mixture on medium-high heat over the stove until the mixture is slightly thickened. Stir continually while the mixture is heating.
- Beat an egg together in a small dish to the side. Take your flax seed mixture off the heat, add only half of the egg, and whisk it in rapidly. Then, add the rest of the egg and rapidly whisk until the egg cooks through and thickens the porridge.
- Finally, stir the butter into the porridge. You can add other toppings to the porridge. Here, a drizzle of coconut milk and a sprinkle of blueberries were added.
