Pin itFollow us 148.4k

I make variations of this keto porridge at least once a week, sometimes with turmeric or vanilla instead of cinnamon. It's super easy, low in carbs and works with any nuts or seeds. There's no gluten, no grains, no sugar - it's just real food ingredients!

It's a great breakfast treat that tastes amazing even without sweeteners. It's filling and will keep cravings away - just perfect for your ketogenic or paleo diet plan.

Substitutions and Tips

• You can use any healthy low-carb sweetener but I prefer the subtle sweetness of roasted almond butter and coconut without additional sweeteners.
• You can make this recipe nut-free by using sunflower seed butter or coconut butter instead of almond butter, sunflower or pumpkin seeds instead of walnuts, and water instead of almond milk.
