Low Carb Hot Coconut Breakfast Porridge
This unique Keto breakfast recipe puts a twist on porridge. If you’ve never had porridge before, think of it as a mix between oatmeal and thick pudding. It’s a hot breakfast that will really fill you up. Despite some ingredient changes to make porridge more Keto-friendly, you’ll find comfort in a hot, thick, hearty meal. Porridge is particularly great to have on especially cold mornings, but there are many other good times to eat porridge. If you exercise while on the Keto diet, this easy porridge recipe is great for eating beforehand. The low carbs will give your body some easy calories to burn. Any breakfast, really, will be better with this recipe!
What is porridge?
Oatmeal, grits, porridge, hot cereal: there are all types of thick, hot breakfast dishes that all seem so similar. Porridge is traditionally made with ground oats or rice. It’s the addition of milk or hot water that turns it into the creamy mixture that is porridge. For your Keto porridge recipe, you’ll be making it with ground flax seeds and coconut flour.
Porridge toppings
This recipe is topped with coconut milk and blueberries. For a more savory topping, try drizzling cashew cream or sprinkling sliced almonds over the top. If you really like coconut, unsweetened coconut flakes also make a scrumptious porridge topping.
I don’t like coconut
You can substitute coconut flour in this recipe with almond flour. Skip the coconut milk, and stir warm almond milk into your porridge instead! Add any other toppings that you’d like at your discretion.

Almond flour doesn’t absorb water like coconut flour does- but oat FIBER (not flour!) does. It also lends the flavor of oats. I’m not a fan of coconut flour, and oat fiber has become my go-to substitute for it in keto recipes. It worked well in this one and made a nice porridge consistency. I also substituted heavy whipping cream for the coconut milk.

Ive made this for years the egg just adds fat and protein you can omit it and it will still hold solid like a porridge. No need to "replace" it.

I added a squirt of Stur Blue & Black Berry, subbed heavy cream for the coconut milk, and used 10g of dried blueberries. Pushed the carbs up to 12 or so but I liked it so much that I’m willing to look for zero-carb foods for lunch and dinner!

Did not like the flavor of this at all. It tasted so salty and even after adding swerve brown sugar it wasn’t edible for me or my family.

I have no butter .Can I use ghee or coconut oil ?
StupendousKetone979139 a year ago
I love this recipe. I added MCT oil instead of butter. So nice to have something warm and sweet (organic stevia powder added) for breakfast instead of boiled eggs !

Pleasantly surprised! I also added some unsweetened shredded coconut, chopped pecans, pumpkin spice and a little Monk golden sweetener.

This was the nicest version of coconut porridge I’ve made. Very filling! I replaced the coconut milk for almond milk. Totally stuffed now!

Yummy, def hit the spot. Texture was a bit watery but could be the amount of cream I added. I will keep tweaking till I find what works for.me. I did also add some vanilla and a teaspoon of minkfruit.

Wow! I have never heard of caramel stevia. Where do you get yours and are there other flavors? Thank you.

I really enjoyed this coconut porridge. I made it pretty much as written in recipe, except I tempered the egg with a tablespoon of the hot porridge before adding the egg to the porridge. I also sprinkled the top of the porridge with a bit of stevia powder, a little coconut milk, and a few blueberries. Yum!

It was thick enough without the egg so I did not add it. I added more water, a dash of almond milk, cinnamon, erythritol, and a sprinkle of dry coconut on top with the blueberries. I haven’t added butter either . I ll have it again the way I cooked.
