How many carbs are in keto coconut porridge?

Each serving has 4.2g net carbs (11.2g total carbs minus 7g fiber), along with 412 calories, 9g protein, and 38g fat. This recipe makes 2 servings.

Is this coconut porridge dairy-free?

Yes. It uses canned full-fat coconut milk instead of cream or milk, so it is completely dairy-free and works for vegan and paleo-leaning keto eaters as well.

Why is my porridge too thick or too thin?

Coconut flour and chia keep absorbing liquid, so texture depends on timing. If it gets too thick, whisk in a tablespoon of warm coconut milk or water. If it is too thin, let it rest an extra minute or two off the heat.

This cozy coconut porridge is everything you miss about a warm bowl of oatmeal, minus the carbs. Coconut flour, flax, and chia thicken into a creamy, naturally sweet breakfast you can make in about 12 minutes.

Ingredients

1 cup full-fat coconut milk (canned, well shaken)

1/4 cup water

3 tablespoons coconut flour

2 tablespoons ground golden flaxseed

1 tablespoon chia seeds

2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut

1.5 tablespoons powdered erythritol (or monk fruit sweetener)

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 pinch fine sea salt

2 tablespoons chopped pecans, toasted (for topping)

Instructions

In a small saucepan, combine the coconut milk and water and warm over medium heat until steaming but not boiling, about 2 minutes.

Whisk in the coconut flour, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, and shredded coconut. Keep whisking continuously so no lumps form.

Add the erythritol, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring often, for 4 to 5 minutes until the porridge thickens to a creamy, spoonable consistency.

Remove from heat and let it rest for 2 minutes; it will continue to thicken as the chia and coconut flour absorb liquid. Stir in a splash of water or coconut milk if you prefer it looser.

Divide between two bowls and top with the toasted chopped pecans. Serve warm.

Tips & notes

Coconut flour and chia both swell as they sit, so make this just before eating. Leftovers keep in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat with a splash of coconut milk or water to loosen.

Swap pecans for walnuts, slivered almonds, or a few crushed macadamias. A handful of fresh raspberries adds only about 1g net carb per serving.

For a higher-protein bowl, whisk in 1 scoop of unflavored or vanilla collagen peptides off the heat (adds roughly 9g protein with no extra carbs).
