Cuisine: Paleo
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup riced cauliflower
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- Fresh fruit for topping
Instructions
- Begin by thoroughly rinsing the cauliflower and patting it dry with a clean kitchen towel. If using whole cauliflower, use a food processor to rice the cauliflower into small, grain-like pieces until you have 1 cup.
- In a medium non-stick saucepan, combine the riced cauliflower and almond milk. Stir gently to ensure even distribution.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Add chia seeds, maple syrup, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the saucepan. Stir thoroughly to incorporate all spices and sweetener.
- Reduce heat to low and continue cooking, stirring frequently, for approximately 10-12 minutes. The mixture should thicken and become creamy, with the cauliflower becoming tender.
- Remove from heat and let the porridge rest for 2-3 minutes to allow further thickening.
- Divide the porridge between two serving bowls, using a spatula to ensure even distribution.
- Top with fresh seasonal fruits like berries, sliced banana, or chopped apple for added nutrition and flavor.
- Serve immediately while warm, and optionally sprinkle additional cinnamon or drizzle extra maple syrup if desired.
Tips
- Rice your cauliflower fresh for the best texture—pre-packaged riced cauliflower can work, but homemade ensures maximum freshness.
- Use a non-stick pan to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Stir frequently to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
- Experiment with different toppings like toasted nuts, coconut flakes, or a drizzle of almond butter for added flavor and nutrition.
- For extra creaminess, you can substitute part of the almond milk with full-fat coconut milk.
- If the porridge becomes too thick, simply add a splash more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Make sure to let the porridge rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow the chia seeds to fully absorb liquid and create a perfect creamy texture.
