Here is my paleo version of breakfast oatmeal. My oldest daughter used to be addicted to oatmeal; her day just couldn’t start without a bowl of it, but then she tried this recipe and it was love at first try.
Ingredients:
1 egg.
1 tbsp of coconut flour.
1 tbsp of melted coconut oil.
3/4 cup of vanilla almond milk.
1 tbsp of date paste or sweetener of choice (optional).
1 tbsp of hemp seed (optional).
a plash of vanilla.
1 pinch of salt.
Preparation:
- Whisk all ingredients together, except the hemp seeds.
- Cook in small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking at the bottom of the pan.
- When most of the liquid is absorbed, remove from heat, mix in the hemp seeds, and serve. You may add more milk if the consistency is too dry.
- Top with shredded coconut, nuts, raisins, currants, sliced bananas, lucuma powder, cinnamon or berries.

Thank you Edible Harmony………Oatmeal too was a sincere favorite of mine until I progressed to a paleo diet – that of which brought more energy then I could consume in a gallon of oats (ha). I look forward to trying your grain free replacement! At this point it sounds good even for dinner….

Love your recipes!! Just wondering if you could recommend a substitute for date paste (my mother is diabetic) other than just omitting it from the recipes. Thanks!

I would probably use raw stevia instead, everything that I have read about it points out to be the healthiest low glycemic sweetener in the market, but I am a little bit of a food purist and I prefer to stick to natural, unaltered food ingredients that I can make myselt. I have read that it could upset some people’s stomach though Also look into yacon syrup, it’s super healthy but a bit “pricey”. This recipe would also work well with Lucuma powder, a mild sweetener packed with lots of nutrients

I made the porridge this morning for breakfast before going to the gym and I have to say that I was skeptical to use the egg, I do not like eggs, but I went ahead and followed the recipe. I did not use the date paste, hemp seed, vanilla or salt; added chia seed instead, shreded coconut and ground flax seed. Oh my, what a delicious, healthy, full filing and easy to make breakfast. I could not have done 45 minutes of compound training plus a 3 miles run without it. I still have one egg left and I am using it tomorrow on my porridge. I called my neighbor to ask if her chickens have been producing lately and she said “I have a dozen”; yeahhh! Thank you for the awesome recipe!!!!

I’m glad you like it as much as I do.

I am a new vegan (3 months now). I also am addicted to oatmeal and load it up with fresh fruits. I am interested in trying this but want to know if I could just leave out the egg or is there a substitute for it? Thanks!

I would try adding more milk and chia seeds instead of hemp
