Porridge vs. Oatmeal

Contrary to popular belief, oatmeal is porridge! Porridge is a soft food made from boiled grains or legumes. The mixture is boiled in either milk, broth, or water. So, oatmeal is a type of porridge made with oats! Fortunately for those who don’t prefer oats, there are plenty of other options to enjoy the delicious warmth of this fantastic breakfast food – like almond flour!

There are all different types of flours and legumes one can choose to make porridge. One of the most delectable is almond flour. Cooking with almond flour produces a nutty, slightly sweet flavor in recipes. It is full of vitamins, fiber, and is naturally gluten-free.

To make a savory porridge, swap the cinnamon and sweetener for cheese and olives. Yum! Whichever you choose, this recipe is Goldilocks-approved!

Ingredients for Porridge (with Almond Flour!)

Almond Flour – Almond flour is ground, blanched almonds. It is an excellent choice for gluten-free baking. When boiled with milk and spices, almond flour creates a comforting porridge to start your day well!

Ground Flaxseed – Flaxseed is an amazing fiber source! It also has a boost of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which contribute to overall health.

Cinnamon – Cinnamon adds a warming flavor and compliments the sweetness of the almond flour perfectly.

Salt – Just a tiny bit of salt since this is a sweeter recipe. If you are on a low sodium diet, eliminate completely.

Milk – Dairy or non-dairy milk, choose your favorite! Almond milk will enhance the nuttiness of the almond flour.

Maple syrup or honey – Start with one teaspoon of sweetness, taste the porridge, then add more if desired.

Toppings (Fresh fruit, hemp & chia seeds) – Our toppings of choice are fresh fruit, hemp seeds, and chia seeds. Coconut flakes, pumpkin seeds, and chopped chocolate are other delicious choices!
