I’m an oatmeal girl at heart. I mentioned this in my Against The Grain post, and since giving up grains, I’ve really felt a void in my morning breakfast routine. Chia seeds have been my stand in, and an amazing one at that, but sometimes I miss the warming bowl of comfort that oatmeal provided.
Well guess what? I think I’ve figured out a pretty good paleo-approved replacement, and it only requires a handful of ingredients and about 5 minutes from start to finish.
If you’re not a fan of coconut, move along. This dish is full of it with organic coconut flour, finely shredded unsweetened coconut flakes, and unsweetened coconut milk. Needless to say, it’s going to taste like coconut. If you’re avoiding sugar, you’re in luck as it is completely sugar-free thanks to my beloved SweetLeaf flavored Stevia Drops (which I will be doing a full review on soon).
Gluten free, grain free, dairy free, paleo, sugar free, vegan…this recipe can fit into the majority of diets out there, and the really great news is that its under 300 calories total
If you’re like me, grain-free and missing the hearty, warm consistency of oatmeal, this could be a solid substitute for your morning breakfast routine. It honestly couldn’t be any simpler to make, so give it a try and let me know what your thoughts are.
- 1.5 cups unsweetened coconut milk
- 4 Tbsp. unsweetened finely shredded coconut
