16 Mar Banana Porridge {Paleo, Vegan, Keto}

[vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_column_text]I recently ran across Danielle Walker’s recipe for Paleo Banana Porridge in her book Against All Grain (which by the way, you should totally get because there are so many freakin’ tasty recipes included in here!).

If you’ve done Whole30 or tried Paleo maybe you’re like me and the first thing that really excited you was BACON!

Well, it was great! And then the tastiness and dare I say illicitness of bacon and eggs every morning wore off (my inner Ron Swanson is screaming right now!) and I just wanted something that wasn’t so rich.

Don’t get me wrong, I still really love bacon and eggs but I wanted something more soul-warming, a substitute for hearty, cinnamony oatmeal.

The porridge is super easy to make. Just remember to leave time to soak the nuts overnight.

I did have some trouble finding raw nuts (that weren’t freakishly high priced) but I ran across some at Sam’s Club and on Amazon.com. I’ve included the links below.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”19424″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=””][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]

• ½ cup raw cashews
• ½ cup raw almonds
• ½ cup raw pecans
• 1 very ripe banana
• 2 cup coconut milk
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• dash of sea salt

1. Rinse the nuts until the water runs clear.
2. Place the nuts in a large bowl and sprinkle the sea salt over them. Fill the bowl with filtered water so the nuts are covered by at least 1 inch of water. Cover and soak overnight.
3. Drain the nuts and rinse 2 or 3 times, again until the water runs clear.
4. Add the drained nuts to a food processor or high-speed blender. Blend the nuts with the banana, coconut milk, and cinnamon until smooth.
5. Put the porridge in a pot on the stove and heat over medium-high heat for 5 minutes.
6. Optional: Garnish with raisins, chopped nuts, or dates.
