No-Cook, Allergy-Friendly, Grain-Free Breakfast Porridge

by Ricki Heller 89 Comments

[Sometimes, you just want a dish that’s quick and easy–no fuss.  I’ve decided to offer a mini-post every once in a while, for a dish that comes together incredibly quickly or else is so simple to make that no recipe is required. Here’s today’s “Flash in the Pan.” (For other FitP recipes, see “Categories” at right).]

I’ve been preparing to co-teach a detox class with my friend and contributor to my book, Andrea Nakayama. See that bowl o’ bliss up there? It’s one of the recipes in the program!

Well, in preparation for the detox, I compiled and created a whack of recipes so that participants will be entirely covered with healthy, lower glycemic foods (and lots of desserts–we don’t want anyone missing their dessert on a sugar detox!). Part of Andrea’s philosophy for this kind of detox, and it’s something I love, is that you should never feel deprived when you’re detoxing; desserts that don’t spike blood sugar and that employ approved, healthy alternatives are just fine! So we’ll be enjoying treats like raw “cookie dough” balls, fudge, raw lemon poppyseed squares, halvah, coconut “brittle” and caramel ice cream over the next two weeks.

[Caramel ice cream with cinnamon-apple topping. . . .yes, you can eat this on our sugar detox!]

In between testing some new recipes just for the course and sending the entire package to Andrea, I was introduced to her famous “porridge,” which she created for an earlier program. It’s vegan, grain- and gluten-free, high protein, dairy free, and (of course) sugar free. Needless to say, I had to try it.

A hot cereal for breakfast, you say, and in the middle of the summer?

No matter that it was 38C (100 F) the first day I ate this for breakfast–there is no cooking required! So you won’t heat up the kitchen (or heat it up more) by turning on the stove when you make your porridge.  Grind up the ingredients, boil some water, and you’re done.  Unless, of course, you want to play with the recipe–did I mention that it’s infinitely adaptable, too?

The first time I prepared the porridge, I followed Andrea’s recipe exactly.  I LOVED it!  The texture is remarkably similar to that of cooked cereal, something I yearn for after a few days of grain-free eating. And the best part? I wasn’t hungry again until waaaaay later in the afternoon! It was that filling–and that satisfying.

So next time you’re craving something carb-y without wanting to actually consume those carbs, have a bowl of this porridge.

Whatever the season.

“We loved it too, Mum! As you know, anything that’s high protein appeals to us. . . any bits of leftover porridge you want to share?”

And if you’re looking for another grain-free, quick and easy breakfast, here’s another favorite.

Easy No-Cook, Grain-Free Breakfast Porridge 

This porridge is quick and easy, and infinitely variable: use sunflower or hemp instead of the pumpkin seeds; substitute another favorite nut instead of the walnuts; include the coconut or omit it, as you wish. It’s also a great all-year round breakfast as you won’t have to heat up the kitchen cooking it on the stovetop.  In fact, I daresay, it’s almost instant! This recipe appears in my book, Living Candida-Free, and was a huge favorite with testers. 

2 Tbsp (30 ml) unsweetened coconut flakes or shredded coconut

1 Tbsp (15 ml) raw pumpkin seeds

1 Tbsp (15 ml) raw flax seeds

2 tsp (10 ml) chia seeds

1 Tbsp (15 ml) raw walnuts (about 6 walnuts)

1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) ground cinnamon

1/2-3/4 cup (120-180 ml) very hot water

7-10 drops plain or vanilla stevia liquid

2-4 Tbsp (30-60 ml) coconut or nut milk, to your taste

1/2 cup (120 ml) blueberries or other fresh berries, or chopped fresh apricots

In a coffee grinder, grind the coconut, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, chia seeds, walnuts and cinnamon.  Transfer to a bowl and cover with water.  Let sit for a few minutes to thicken.

Add stevia, coconut milk and blueberries and stir well. Makes one serving.

Note: you can make a large batch of this cereal in advance and store it in single servings in the freezer so it’s ready to go when you need it: defrost overnight in the refrigerator and enjoy!

Suitable for: ACD all stages, sugar-free, grain-free, gluten-free, egg-free, dairy-free, Paleo, keto, soy-free, corn-free, vegan.

Original recipe co-created by Andrea Nakayama and Andrea Livingston. Used with permission.

    Thanks Ricki for sharing this! I am always looking for quick recipes for my daughter for breakfast. Still a 15 month old with only 4 teeth she cant really chew a ton, and we never will buy the instant oatmeal or porridge from the store. I might leave out the walnuts but she has tolerated everything else fine so far. 🙂

      Glad you mentioned the walnuts–I don’t have kids, but that was the first thing that occurred to me, as I’ve heard that nuts aren’t suitable for little ones! Other than that, she should love this (and you can always sub more seeds for the nuts, or just leave them out). 🙂

      I thought about trying it with milk instead–but since milk is added later, I didn’t bother. I’m guessing it would taste VERY rich in that case (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing!). Go for it! And let me know how it turns out. 🙂

    Ricki, this was absolutely delicious! I made it for breakfast this morning and I added nectarines…really good! Grains usually make me feel almost queasy (even gluten free) and the ingredients in this recipe are so harmonious in my body yet it had the taste and texture of grains! Wow, this is a really clever and very tasty recipe that I’m looking forward to making for a long time 🙂 Thank you so much for posting it.

    2) Where is the recipe for the caramel ice cream posted (or is it not!?)

      Hi Sophie,
      Yes, the recipe is for one person! I know it seems like a lot, but it’s just right (for me, anyway). The caramel ice cream is a recipe I developed for the Sweet Victory sugar detox program, so I will share it after the program is over. 🙂

    Looks great! I’d love to try it but I’m one of the rare people who can’t have Stevia (causes heart palpitations). Any suggestions of what to use instead? Many great recipes call for Stevia and it is hard to do a full detox without it (at least for me since I love sweets).

      Hi Sari,

      Thanks for your comment–and for reading my blog! 🙂 As for the stevia, this porridge can easily be made with any sweetener of your choice. Are you okay with agave, coconut sugar (also sometimes called jaggery), or coconut nectar? Molasses to taste or even date sugar or maple syrup would all be fine if you can tolerate them. It would be a shame to miss out on this yummy bowl! 🙂

      Jane, I’m not sure this can be done by hand. . . in the coffee grinder, the final texture is sort of like cornmeal. I’m pretty sure I couldn’t chop things that finely by hand! I’m sure it would still taste good evne if it’s a bit more chunky–you might just have to soak it a bit longer before stirring it all together. If you do try it this way, please come back and let me know how it turned out!

    I tried this for breakfast this morning. It doesn’t come out as thick as I like porridge when made according to recipe, but its super tasty. Adding extra flax and almond meal thickened it right up to my liking. Only downside compared to other porridges, I strongly encourage anyone eating this to check your teeth before getting up from the table. I had nut pieces stuck EVERYWHERE>

    I have some flax seed meal (Bob’s Red Mill brand) in my refrigerator. Would I be able to add that into the ground mixture? I am trying to eat grain free and low sugar for breakfast and I HATE eggs. I am hoping to try this to see if this will be a good option for me. I have to eat when I wake up and the idea of veggies with beans is not an option for me. Also, any issue subbing almonds or other nut for the walnuts? Not a fan. Thank you!

      Hi Allie,
      Thanks for your comment, and for reading! You can basically add whatever you like to the porridge, but just be aware that the texture and flavor will change. With this particular mix of ingredients, the texture is very much like “regular” porridge. I imagine the flax will make it a bit more gummy, and different nuts will alter the flavor. However, if you prefer almonds to walnuts, go ahead. It will just be a different kind of porridge.

        May 25, 2012 at 2:10 pm

        Thanks Ricki! I did make the recipe this morning and found it to be a bit viscous. That could be simply because I used two tblsp of Chia instead of 2 tsp! Is porridge similar to American “Cream of Wheat”? I loved the flavor though and will try it again tomorrow, following the directions. (I made this before I had my morning coffee—glad I did not make a big batch!). The flaxmeal I am using is just ground flax seed, so it should not change things too much, I don’t imagine.

        Thank you again. I also passed your website on to my sister who is working with me to become more “gluten and sugar free”.

          Thanks so much, Allie! I think you’re right–2 Tbsp of chia versus 2 tsp would make a huge difference in the texture, and chia (as well as flax) can be very viscous. I find flax worse in that area, actually! But I also love the flavor of this. Porridge in N. America is basically well-cooked oatmeal (oats), or (I guess?) gruel (though who eats gruel any more?!). It should be sort of like Cream of Wheat, but with more of a nubby texture. Hope that helps! And thanks so much for passing along the site info. 😀

    I have tried this recipe a couple months ago when I went grain free and dairy free. I guess I am the only weird one here, but I am frustrated with chia seeds. In this recipe as well as trying to make chia pudding or anything else, I can’t stand the slimy, gooey, egg white like texture that I get from using them. I guess that’s why they make good egg replacers for vegan recipes. It is just gloppy and I can’t tolerate it. Isn’t it that way for anyone else?

      Hi Diane,

      Sorry you don’t like the chia seeds! I’m sure they are not for everyone. I don’t mind tapioca pudding, either, so for me they taste really good. 😉 I’m curious to know what other readers think–please pipe up here in the comments if you’re a chia-hater, and let us know what you do about it! I’m sure you could just use more of something else (eg, ground sunflower seeds, maybe?), but then of course the texture and taste of the porridge would change. But that may not at all be a bad thing. But if you don’t enjoy the porridge, by all means, please don’t force yourself to make/eat it!

    Morning Ricki! I’ve had this recipe open in a tab on my computer for at least a week now, but finally tried it for breakfast today. It’s delicious! I’m totally making up a batch for the freezer…too good not to have on hand. I do have to confess to using a date to sweeten instead of the stevia I didn’t have in the house…that and using a bit of whole fat coconut milk on top. 🙂 Thanks for another great recipe!

    I hate to say it, but this porridge recipe originally came from Elana’s Pantry though you didn’t give her any credit. That is unfortunate and unethical in my opinion.

      Hi Katie,
      Thanks for your comment. That is quite the accusation! If you look at Elana’s post, however, and check the dates of the two posts, you will see that she posted AFTER this post, AND she also mentions that she got that recipe from THIS BLOG. So, I didn’t take her recipe–she actually mentioned MY RECIPE on HER blog. Luckily, she wasn’t unethical about it, either–she gave me full credit in her post. 😉 It’s nice to know that she has readers who are this concerned for her reputation, though! 🙂

      Yay! So glad you enjoyed it, Rachel! I use this as a go-to breakfast when I travel all the time. . . perfect for hotel rooms (run plain water through the coffee maker for hot water!). Have a great trip! 😀
