Ingredients:

1/4 cup dried coconut meat
1 cup almond flour
1 tbsp flaxseed
1/2 oz chia seeds
1 tsp cinnamon
1 cup coconut milk
Paleo porridge

Start your day with a hearty and nutritious Paleo Porridge that's not only delicious but also aligns with your paleo dietary lifestyle. This porridge is packed with healthy fats, fiber, and protein, making it a perfect breakfast choice to keep you energized and satisfied throughout the morning.

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the dried coconut meat, almond flour, flaxseed, chia seeds, and ground cinnamon. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
2. Add the Coconut Milk:
- Pour the coconut milk into the mixing bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly to combine. The chia seeds will begin to absorb the liquid and thicken the mixture.
3. Let It Sit:
- Allow the mixture to sit for about 5 minutes. This gives the chia seeds time to soak up the coconut milk, resulting in a thicker, porridge-like consistency. If you prefer a creamier texture, you can let it sit for a bit longer or even refrigerate it overnight.
4. Heat the Porridge (Optional):
- If you prefer your porridge warm, transfer the mixture to a small saucepan and heat it on low to medium heat. Stir continuously until it's warmed through. This should only take a few minutes.
5. Serve and Enjoy:
- Pour the porridge into a serving bowl. You can add additional toppings such as fresh berries, nuts, or a drizzle of honey if desired. Savor your nutritious paleo porridge immediately!

With this simple Paleo Porridge, you’re setting yourself up for a morning meal that’s both fulfilling and nutritious. Tailor it to your taste with various toppings and enjoy a bowl of wholesome goodness that supports your paleo lifestyle.

Paleo porridge FAQ:

How long should I let the chia seeds soak in the coconut milk?

Allow the chia seeds to soak in the coconut milk for about 5 minutes. This will help thicken the mixture into a porridge-like consistency. For a creamier texture, you can let it sit longer or refrigerate it overnight.

Can I use fresh coconut instead of dried coconut meat?

Yes, you can use fresh coconut, but it may change the texture and amount of moisture in the porridge. You may need to adjust the amount of almond flour or coconut milk to achieve your desired consistency.

What is the best way to store leftovers of Paleo Porridge?

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stove with a splash of coconut milk or water to restore the porridge's texture.

Can I substitute almond flour for another type of flour?

You can substitute almond flour with other nut flours like hazelnut flour or sunflower seed flour. However, using a different flour may alter the taste and texture of the porridge.

How do I know when the porridge is fully heated?

The porridge is ready when it is warmed through and reaches your desired temperature. Stir continuously while heating to ensure even warming.

Tips:

- For an extra creamy texture, consider using full-fat coconut milk.

- You can sweeten the porridge naturally by adding a banana or a handful of berries.

- Top your porridge with nuts, seeds, or coconut flakes for added crunch and flavor.

- If the porridge is too thick, you can add more coconut milk or water to achieve your desired consistency.

- Ensure the flaxseeds and chia seeds are well mixed to avoid clumping and achieve a smooth texture.

- This porridge can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just reheat with a bit more coconut milk before serving.
