The Ingredients

Scroll to the bottom of this post for the amount of each ingredient needed to make our incredible keto porridge recipe.

  1. Coconut Flour. Now I know the idea of a coconut flour porridge recipe does not excite some of you, so I have included an almond meal option BUT let me say it doesn’t taste overly coconutty!
  2. Golden flax seed meal. For those of you with brown flax you can use that instead, but it will be more savoury and bitter. I love golden flax meal and use it in loads of recipes, so I think it is well worth buying some.
  3. Whey protein isolate. WPI adds extra protein to the porridge as well as creaminess. It can be substituted with micellar protein powder or skim milk powder.
  4. Almond milk, coconut milk, hemp mylk or macadamia milk. You choose whatever milk you want to use in your keto porridge.

Step By Step How to Make it

Step 2. Place all the noatmeal / keto porridge ingredients into a medium saucepan or microwave-save bow. Mix with keto milk of choice. Whisk the mixture on medium heat until it starts to thicken or heat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes until thickened to your liking. Alternatively, use 1/4 cup with 100-150ml of keto milk for an individual serving.

Step 3: Pour into individual bowls. Add cream and toppings or flavourings of choice and stir to combine.

Low Carb Porridge Variations

There are endless variations you can make with keto porridge, and here are just a few of my favourites.

  1. Vanilla Honey. Low Carb Emporium have a new low carb, no sugar honey that is pretty incredible. I mix this with a small number of vanilla seeds to make a tasty vanilla honey to drizzle over the top.
  2. Peanut Butter. Any nut butter will do, and this is one of my most favourite flavouring additions in porridges or in Chia Pudding.
  3. Chocolate. Mix through some unsweetened cocoa or cacao powder for a creamy chocolate porridge.
  4. Brown “sugar”. Add a teaspoon of Sukrin Gold sweetener, in granular or fibre syrup form, for that old fashioned brown sugar porridge taste.
  5. Berry. Whether you make a fresh berry porridge or use a sugar free jam, this makes for a very tasty porridge indeed. In the picture above I have added some Hawthorne Hill sugar free Blackberry Jam.

3 Ways to Make this Low Carb Oatmeal

  1. Stove top porridge. Simple, quick and easy, and all in one saucepan over low to moderate heat. Keep stirring until the porridge is thickened and to your liking.
  2. Microwave porridge. This is my favourite way to make this, as it is done in just 3 minutes!
  3. Thermomix® porridge. This is still an easy method, as it’s a set and forget cooking method that allows you to make a topping while the Thermomix® does all the work.

Hot Tips and FAQs

Can you eat porridge on a keto diet?

Porridge is usually grain-based, which doesn’t suit a keto diet. Low carb versions that do not include grains are a keto-friendly and gluten-free substitute for this popular breakfast!

What can I replace golden flaxseed with?

Golden flaxseed is the milder flavoured option which is why I have recommended it in this and other recipes of mine. They also have fewer calories and fat and more protein than brown. You can substitute with the brown flaxseeds and if the nuttier flavour isn’t to your liking, increase the flavouring to compensate!

How can I store the keto porridge for the week?

Keep the serves for the rest of the week in an airtight container in the fridge. Simply reheat a serving in the microwave for a minute, or on the stovetop on low heat.

Is there a substitute for the coconut flour?

Almond meal and hemp seeds are both good substitutes for coconut flour.
