Grain-free Hemp Heart Porridge

January 11, 2015 by Leanne Vogel November 2, 2018

A grain-free porridge made with only nuts and seeds. Over 24 grams of fiber in every bowl, a hearty meal that’s gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, low-carb and paleo.

Ingredients

• 1 cup non-dairy milk
• ½ cup Manitoba Harvest Hemp Hearts
• 2 tablespoons freshly ground flax seed
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 1 tablespoon xyltiol or 5 drops alcohol-free stevia
• ¾ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ cup crushed almonds or almond flour

Toppings

• 3 Brazil nuts
• 1 tablespoon Manitoba Harvest Hemp Hearts

Instructions

1. Add all ingredients but the ground almonds and toppings to a small saucepan. Stir until combined, then heat over medium heat, just until it begins to boil lightly. No need to cover.
2. Once bubbling lightly, stir once over and leave to cook for another 1-2 minutes.
3. Remove from the heat, stir in crushed almonds, and drop into a bowl. Top with toppings and eat immediately.

Notes

Making Ahead: I have not tried making this recipe ahead of time and eating it later. I’m not sure if it would get too sticky?
Nut-free: If you can’t do nuts, simply replace the ground almonds with crushed sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds.
Digestion: If you’re sensitive to nuts and seeds, you could try soaking the ingredients beforehand.
Nutrition Information: If you are not practicing a 2-meal eating style as I am, feel free to divide this recipe into 2 servings. If you only eat 1-2 times per day, the nutrition from this one-dish-meal is perfection!
