Cinnamon and Coconut Porridge

Thick and creamy, this cinnamon and coconut porridge comes together in about 10 minutes for a tasty and nourishing breakfast. 

Instead of oats we’ve combined heavy cream with unsweetened coconut and flaxseed meal and mixed them with some butter, honey, and cinnamon for a big bowl of yum. 

Why You’ll Love This Creamy Coconut Porridge

Even if you are an oatmeal fan, I am sure you will love this creamy porridge. Guaranteed to keep you full for hours this porridge is a good low-carb option. 

Flaxseed meal is a fiber-rich food loaded with nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids and may be helpful in lowering cholesterol levels and the risk of heart disease. You can buy whole flax seeds and grind them yourself or buy them already ground. It is best to store flaxseeds in the refrigerator.

Like oatmeal, a bowl of this creamy porridge with coconut and flaxseed can be topped with whatever you like or whatever you have on hand.

Ingredients 

  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup of heavy cream
  • ½ cup of unsweetened coconut
  • 2 tablespoons of flaxseed meal

How To Make This Coconut Porridge Recipe

In a small pot combine water, heavy cream, coconut, flaxseed meal, butter, honey, and cinnamon and mix well. 

Place the pot on the stove and cook over medium-low heat. 

Mixing constantly, bring the mixture to a slow boil. Once boiling, remove from the heat. 

Divide the porridge into ramekins or serving bowls and let the ramekins sit for 10 minutes.

All About Cinnamon and Coconut Porridge

This no-oats porridge is a great way to fill up in the morning. With just a handful of simple ingredients, you can have breakfast on the table in just a few minutes. 

This cinnamon and coconut porridge can be eaten hot, cold, or at room temperature. 

Variations

  • Instead of honey, use maple syrup or agave. If you want this porridge to be vegan then use a vegan butter or margarine as well as a plant-based cream. 
  • Top with your favorite fruit whether it be berries, bananas, kiwi, or pineapple. Fresh or frozen will both work. 
  • Sprinkle with your favorite nuts or seeds. Toast them to enhance the flavor. 
  • Add pumpkin pie spice or mix in some chai spices for more flavor.
  • For added protein mix in your favorite protein powder, some hemp seeds, or even a tablespoon of collagen. 
  • Any nut or seed butter will add more protein and healthy fats, instead of almond you can use peanut, cashew, sunflower, or tahini. 
  • Mix in a teaspoon of vanilla to sweeten up the porridge.

Tips and Tricks/Notes

  • Make sure to stir continuously while the mixture is on the stove so that the cream does not burn.
  • If you don’t have ground flaxseed meal you can grind your own flax seeds in a coffee mill. If you aren’t up for grinding make sure to buy ground flaxseed and store the bag in the refrigerator. 
  • When buying the coconut make sure to buy unsweetened so you can sweeten up the porridge to your liking. Coconut is usually found in the baking aisle of the grocery store. 
  • For a quick on-the-go breakfast option store the porridge in small mason or storage jars so you can grab one as you walk out the door in the morning. 
  • If you want to lighten up the porridge a little bit you can use a lighter cream or a mixture of half heavy cream and half milk. 

How To Store This Porridge

You can store leftover cinnamon and coconut porridge in an airtight container or mason jar for up to 3 days in the fridge.

Just give it a good mix before you eat it. If it has gotten too thick you can add more cream or milk. If you prefer your porridge warm you can pop it in the microwave to reheat. 

It is best to eat this porridge fresh so I don’t recommend freezing porridge leftovers.
