Every recipe of Carine’s is just amazing!!! Thank you so much!!!
Hello ! I am wondering sbout sodium why so much . Have you added salt?
It’s very low in sodium, remember that per day you should aim for less than 2,300 mg of sodium, this porridge only contains 10% coming from the basic natural ingredients in the recipe.
The best low carb oatmeal love it
Thanks 😊
This is soo yummy! I’ve been looking for a good keto vegan breakfast and I think this is about to become a staple for me! I added raspberries and it is perfect!
Thanks for the recipe. I used peanut butter as I had run out of almond.The porridge had a very distinct sweet flavor without any sweetener. Perhaps it was the peanut butter but there was also a lot of coconut. The texture was more like cream of wheat than oatmeal at least how I used to make oatmeal at least the non instant kind and with minimal cooking. I just wanted to ask about using almond flour (I know likely 4 times as much as the coconut flour) to tamp down the flavor a bit.
Hi, It will probably work with almond flour too but you may need lot more. Thanks for trying my recipes, XOXO Carine
I really liked the flavor of this.. but it seemed grainy.. I also kept having to add more milk because it was getting too thick.. hmmm.. should I have booked longer??
Coconut flour has lots of fibre, 40% of the flour is fibre meaning it is ultra moisture absorbent. The longer you cook, the dryer/grainier it becomes. If you like a creamy texture stop cooking your mixture when you enjoy the texture you see. Like for oatmeal you can play with cooking time, adding more milk to make a creamier or dryer texture. Enjoy ! XOXO Carine.
Can this be made in the microwave?
I did not bake mine in the microwave but I am sure it will work very well, 1 minute on high should be enough. Let me know how it goes if you try this option. XOXO Carine.
I just made this for late breakfast. I LOOOOOOVED IT. I could eat this EVERYDAY for the rest of my life. I added a bit of cinnamon and some lemon peeL, and it really hit the spot. Porridge craving 100% satisfied. THANK YOU!!!!
That is what I love to read. Thanks SO much for trying my recipes and for such a lovely comment. XOXO Carine.
This is great in theory but when I made it the coconut stuck in my throat. I found it tasty but unpalatable because it choked me.
You may not like coconut flour very much. Coconut flour has lots of fibre and if you are not used to it, this can be very dry indeed. You can simply add more almond milk to make the porridge creamier, as you will do with regular oat. i hope you will get some others nice recipe on the blog. XOXO Carine.
Mine didn’t thicken up:-(. I wonder what I did wrong…
Hello! It looks like you added too much liquid or did not cook the ‘oatmeal’ long enough to let the coconut flour fiber to soak up the liquid. Like for real oatmeal, you need time to evaporate the liquid and activate the fiber. When this happens you can also add a bit more coconut flour into the mix to thicken up – specially if you like yours thick. Start with an extra teaspoon of coconut flour, keep cooking on the stove, stirring as you go to let the fiber do the work. It will get creamy and thicken up for sure! Enjoy the low carb recipes on the blog. XOXO Carine.
I found an easier way to have creamy porridge using only oats (flour not required)
Add 1/2 cup of oats to a small jar, together with 1 cup of boiling water or your choice of water and milk. Using a hand blender mix everything until the oats start to get a creamy consistency. For a more dense consistency, the oats can be further cooked in the microwave for a minute or so, taking care not to let them overflow if the mixture boils. The boiling is what actually releases the starches to make the whole thing super creamy and since the oats are blended they absorb moisture much quicker than traditional rolled oats. Flavors also blend better!
Finally, add some nuts and flavorings to taste. I like to add a pitch of salt and some almonds!
Its also possible to use general purpose wheat flour to make a porridge. In this case mix the ingredients at ROOM temperature and boil the mixture (microwave or stove) mixing a couple of times, so no solids get on the bottom (its hard to mix once the liquid is hot). Add flavorings to taste and serve
This reminds me of baby food. Delicious creamy treats.
That is wonderful ideas! But those are not low carb, that is why I was suggesting coconut flour in this recipe. Thanks SO much for inspiring other with great ideas. Enjoy the blog recipes. XOXO Carine.
Absolutely delicious and filling and an awesome replacement for oatmeal
Thanks for this lovely comment! I am so happy you enjoy it 🙂 XOXO Carine.
