Grain-free breakfast porridge FAQ:
Store any leftover porridge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat it gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a little almond milk to loosen it if necessary.
To adjust the sweetness, you can add more ripe banana or a drizzle of honey or maple syrup to taste. Alternatively, use a sweeter variety of pineapple based on your preference.
You can substitute almond milk with any other non-dairy milk, such as coconut milk, oat milk, or soy milk. If you are not avoiding dairy, whole milk or half-and-half can also work.
The porridge is done when it has thickened to your desired consistency, which typically takes about 5-7 minutes of cooking after adding the eggs. Stir constantly to avoid burning or curdling.
Yes, you can prepare the fruit mixture ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. Just cook it with the almond milk and eggs when you’re ready to serve.
