Paleo “Oatmeal” Porridge

Paleo “Oatmeal” Porridge

by Em · Apr 11, 2018

The BEST Paleo "Oatmeal" Porridge!

The BEST paleo “oatmeal” porridge! Creamy like a dream, with the perfect oatmeal texture, and you’d better believe it’s a whole food, nutritionally dense powerhouse! Spring mornings are still chilly in the PNW and this porridge + a fluffy robe is my formula for a warm and happy morning.

I love to double or triple this recipe for meal prepping, that way my mornings are only a few minutes away from a hot and tasty breakfast bowl. A personal portion, heated on the stove over medium, with an extra splash of coconut milk, warms up in about 3 minutes. Boom!

This recipe comes from Lauren Geertsen of EmpoweredSustenance.com. The minute I saw this porridge, I knew I had to try it. Of course I loved it, and I return to this recipe again and again. A big thank you to Lauren for permission to share it here. <3

Paleo "Oatmeal" Porridge

This grain-free "oatmeal" porridge is rich, creamy, and satiating. I love to double and triple this recipe for meal prep on the weekends, so I have insta-weekday breakfasts that are delicious and nutrient dense. This porridge doesn't need sweetening, but you could if you wanted to. Top with fresh berries, almond butter, ghee... anything goes!
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Servings 2

Ingredients

  • 2 cups roasted spaghetti squash
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup finely shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup collagen peptides
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract optional but recommended
  • coconut flour optional for a thicker texture

My Favorite Toppings:

  • ghee or butter
  • almond butter
  • seeds and nuts I especially love hemp seeds here
  • fresh berries or fruit my current favorites are blueberries and raspberries
  • dried fruit
  • cinnamon or ground cardamom
  • maple syrup

Instructions

  1. In a cold saucepan, combine all ingredients except vanilla and coconut flour. Using an immersion blender, blend until you achieve a nubby texture akin to oatmeal.
  2. Transfer saucepan to stove and simmer over medium heat for 5-8 minutes. Porridge should be slightly thickened.
  3. If you'd like your porridge even thicker, stir in a tablespoon of coconut flour at a time until you reach desired thickness. FYI - Porridge will continue to thicken as it cools.
  4. Take porridge off heat, stir in vanilla and/or stevia (if using), and add any toppings you'd like. Right now, I'm loving blueberries, raspberries, hemp seeds, coconut yogurt and a drizzle of maple syrup.

Recipe Notes

This porridge reheats like a dream, so I meal prep with it all the time. I prefer reheating personal portions on the stove, over medium heat. It takes about 3 minutes to get it to temperature.

    Em, I love your blog! It’s so refreshing! I love oatmeal as well but I prefer the steelcut variety for the extra texture and nutrient profile.

      Thank you, Tonye! If you like the nubby texture of steelcut oats, you’ll LOVE this porridge. Hope you get the chance to try it sometime!
