I think you may have deduced the 2 ingredients that comprise this porridge:

1. coconut flour
2. flaxseed meal

You will also need some water to mix the porridge (I use filtered tap water). If you like (I do) add a pinch of salt, too.

Step by Step Instructions

Note that the complete instructions are also in the recipe card below.

To make 1 serving, you will need 3 and 1/2 tablespoons coconut flour and 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal. It will not look like much, but just wait…

Use the Stovetop or Microwave to Cook the Porridge

You can make the cereal in one of two ways. I’ll start with thestovetop method.

Bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a small saucepan. Turn the heat to low, add the coconut flour-flax mixture and stir for about 1 minute until thick and creamy. It will yield about 1 and 1/4 cups of porridge

Coconut flour has a natural sweetness, so you enjoy this with little or no adornments. However, you can accessorize your porridge any which way you like, too, with a drizzle of milk, fresh or dried fruits, nuts, seeds, sweeteners, you name it.

I love the subtle coconut flavor of this porridge, but if you want to offset it, add a pinch of spice (e.g., cinnamon, pumpkin spice, cardamom), a few drops of vanilla (or a teeny-tiny drop of almond extract), or some citrus zest.

Blueberries + coconut sugar + almond milk is wicked good.

Next, themicrowave method. Place the coconut-flax mixture in a bowl (or a 2-cup Mason jar, for breakfast on the go or at your desk). Pour 1 cup of boiling water into the bowl or jar, stirring to combine. Microwave on high for about 30 seconds. Done!

I added about 1 tablespoon of chopped dried cranberries to the jar below. So good!

Serving Suggestions

Top the porridge with one or more of the following options:

• Non-dairy milk: Such as soy milk, almond milk, cashew milk, hemp milk, or oat milk. If you eat dairy, use your go-to dairy milk.
• Sweetener:A drizzle or sprinkle of maple syrup, agave nectar, honey (if you are not following a vegan diet), coconut sugar, or monk fruit sweetener.
• Fresh fruit:For example, blueberries, raspberries, chopped apples, sliced strawberries, sliced bananas.
• Dried fruit:For example, raisins, dried cranberries, dried cherries, or chopped dried figs , prunes, apricots or apples.
• Chopped nuts or seeds:Consider using raw or toasted sunflower seeds, walnuts, pecans, almonds, hemp hearts, green pumpkin seeds (pepitas), or hazelnuts.

FAQ

• Can I use milk in place of water when making the porridge?Yes. Use your go-to milk (nondairy milk, or dairy milk, if you do not follow a vegan diet).
• What can I use in place of the coconut flour?The coconut flour cannot be substituted for another flour. This recipe is unique to the properties of coconut flour.
• What can I use in place of theflaxseed meal?You can sub an equal amount ground chia seeds (chia meal) for the flaxseed meal.

I hope you love this cereal as much as I do! I have been known to eat it as a mid-afternoon snack–why wait until breakfast!
