Ingredients for Coconut Flax Porridge

I think you may have deduced the 2 ingredients that comprise this porridge: (1) coconut flour, and (2) flaxseed meal.


If you like (I do) add a pinch of salt, too.

How to Make Vegan Keto Coconut Flax Porridge

To make 1 serving, you will need 3 and 1/2 tablespoons coconut flour and 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal. It will not look like much, but just wait…

Use the Stovetop or Microwave to Cook the Porridge

You can make the cereal in one of two ways. I’ll start with the stovetop method.

Bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a small saucepan. Turn the heat to low, add the coconut flour-flax mixture and stir for about 1 minute until thick and creamy. It will yield about 1 and 1/4 cups of porridge

Coconut flour has a natural sweetness, so you enjoy this with little or no adornments. However, you can accessorize your porridge any which way you like, too, with a drizzle of milk, fresh or dried fruits, nuts, seeds, sweeteners,  you name it.

I love the subtle coconut flavor of this porridge, but if you want to offset it, add a pinch of spice (e.g., cinnamon, pumpkin spice, cardamom), a few drops of vanilla (or a teeny-tiny drop of almond extract), or some citrus zest.

Blueberries + coconut sugar + almond milk is wicked good.

Next, the microwave method. Place the coconut-flax mixture in a bowl (or a 2-cup Mason jar, for breakfast on the go or at your desk). Pour 1 cup of boiling water into the bowl or jar, stirring to combine. Microwave on high for about 30 seconds. Done!

I added about 1 tablespoon of chopped dried cranberries to the jar below. So good!

I am partial to a cold drizzle of milk on top of my porridge, but you can certainly use milk in place of the water (or half milk, half water) for an even creamier result.

I hope you love this cereal as much as I do! I even ate a batch for a mid-afternoon snack. Happy Friday!

Just made this coconut portage per directions. Love the idea and that it resembles cream of wheat. Altho the following is not a complaint; it’s an easy fix - Add more water or coconut milk ???? it just thickened way fast w/1 C water it seems maybe the 3-1/2 T coconut flour and 1T of flax meal is a bit much Or maybe my coconut flour is a little dryer ????‍♀️.

Hi Kathy! Glad you like the porridge! Yes, defiantly add a bit more liquid to achieve the consistency you like. Indeed, there is some variability with coconut flour brands. But it’s also very easy to overpack (especially by spoonfuls). I use a separate spoon to very lightly spoon the coconut flour into measuring spoons and cups if I am not using a kitchen scale. Cheers ????

Thank you so much for this recipe! I have been missing oatmeal while on KETO. I made this recipe today and I LOVE it! It's almost like cream of wheat! And I like flaxseed and chia seeds, so I did half and half. I also added cinnamon and tiny pinch of cloves because I like spice! So yummy!! Thanks again!

Excellent, Rachel! Yes, very much like old fashioned cream of wheat, I am so happy that this is hitting the spot. Clever to use half chia half flax (go you, for making this your own!). Enjoy!

I just tried this and it is definitely going into the rotation of recipes! I didn’t have high hopes but it is really good. I added a touch of cinnamon and a teaspoon of artificial sweetener as that is how I like my oatmeal. It even looks like those hot cereals you make from a box.

Whohoo! So happy you like this one, Anne---it reminds me of farina and cream of wheat from childhood, too. ?

Yay!!! So happy you like it and can see all of the possibilities--it is still one of my breakfast favorites :) And yes, it is a blank canvas (like oatmeal), ready to be transformed into whatever flavor combos you like. Greetings back to you, from Texas, Isabel ?

This was tasty! I had a batch of fresh berries I needed to do something with and came across this recipe. I used water from my InstaHot and didn't even need to cook this. A little stevia and cream (along with my berries) yielded a delicious treat. Thanks!
