Paleo Oatmeal
Have you heard of overnight oats? Well its basically oats, some liquid (usually milk), chia seeds, and fixings - at least that's what the majority of the recipes call for.
You mix it all together and leave it in the refrigerator overnight. It's Genius! and such an easy way to make a healthy gluten free breakfast you can grab on-the-go.
This is a recipe for Paleo Overnight Oats.
So many people can't tolerate oats, or have removed them from their diet but still need quick breakfast options.
I like to make breakfast the night before, and have it ready to either eat or grab-and-g0 with.
This Overnight Paleo Porridge is one of my go-to breakfasts, or after workout snacks. It's my favorite paleo breakfast porridge.
This overnight paleo porridge recipe is really easy to make. You can enjoy this paleo breakfast porridge cold or heat it up for a warm and comforting paleo breakfast. It's our way of enjoying paleo oatmeal, without the actual oatmeal.

How to make Paleo Breakfast Porridge - AKA Paleo Oatmeal
- Add the coconut flour, chia seeds, and ground flaxseed to a jar or bowl.
- Stir until well combined.
- Add coconut milk (or milk of choice) and maple syrup. Stir until combined.
- Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.
This paleo porridge with coconut flour is naturally low carb but if you need to make it keto friendly you can use a sugar-free maple flavored syrup. We like to use Lakanto.
I have not tried making this paleo porridge with almond flour but if you can do coconut flour you might like my Grain-Free Hot cereal.
Just replace the 1 tablespoon of coconut flour with additional almond flour to make it coconut free.

Hello Kay,

Celeste
Wow Chrystal, I never would have thought to put these ingredients together like you did. I now know just what to do with the coconut flour in my pantry. Thanks for sharing this great recipe!
chrystal
The coconut and flax give more of a porridge texture vs. just the chia seed 🙂 If you like it thicker, add another tablespoon of coconut flour. Enjoy!
Kylie Wallace
Awesome recipe! Do you know the nutrition information of it??
chrystal
I don't because it varies on the exact ingredient that is added.

I just made this paleo porridge! However the liquid has been absorbed quite quickly and it looks quite dry. Is that meant to happen? Do i add more liquid in the morning?
chrystal
The liquid should not be absorbed that fast. If that happens, just add more liquid and stir. You can do it right away, or in the morning before you enjoy it. Sometimes liquid is absorbed faster because the almond flour or coconut flour are extra dry, and it absorbs it quicker. Hope that helps!

Fay
My mixture was very dry right away and come morning it was very thick & dry. My chia seeds were not even noticable. Does it matter what chia seeds you use? I found my porridge not very palatable unfortunately.
chrystal
Hi Fay,
Sorry to hear your porridge did not turn out. I make this recipe often and it it far from dry. Is there a chance you might have mis-measured something?
Best,
Chrystal
Pauline
Just made it and added a little vanilla and cinnamon. Plan on having it tomorrow morning with blueberries. It's thickening up already and although I just made it, it already tastes yummy! Thank you for the recipe 🙂
chrystal
I'm so glad you like it! Thank you for letting me know.
