A paleo and keto breakfast that does not use eggs!! This creamy paleo oatmeal is ultra filling and satisfies for hours!
A creamy low-carb, keto, vegan, Whole 30 and paleo diet friendly breakfast! This paleo porridge will satisfy on any cold morning you need warming up!
Anyone on a paleo diet knows this feeling: I want something besides eggs and vegetables for breakfast!! So what is the answer?!! Keto oatmeal porridge made from nuts!!!
Someone, who knows how long ago ( ?!) came up with a brilliant idea: porridge made from soaked nuts!
I have seen more versions than I can shake a stick at, and they’re all variations on the same thing. Here is my version of a low carb oatmeal!
Creamy, nutty, rich, and oh so filling…you will be surprised how good a grain free porridge can taste AND how a little of it can carry you through your entire morning.
A note on soaking nuts for this paleo oatmeal:
I have discovered in my venture with this diet that I don’t do well with lots of nuts and seeds.
I am currently experimenting with soaking the nuts to see if my body likes them anymore this way…this recipe is a reflection of that.
Soaking nuts ‘wakes’ the nut up like it would in the spring if it was to grow a new plant. By doing this, you reduce its protective lectins and phytase, which for some people….wreak havoc on their digestion.
But either way…soaked nuts = more absorbable nutrition for EVERYONE!
There is more information on soaking nuts in this post.
How to make this a keto oatmeal recipe?
When sugars are out….this can still be a great grain free porridge for those following the keto diet!
Simply omit the banana, and use some Lankanto Maple Syrup to sweeten!
Alternately, some favorite low carb sweetener along with some maple extract would also do the trick!

- This Lemon Smoothie is a full, nutritious meal!
- Incredibly moist and chocolaty Paleo Chocolate Butternut Muffins.
- Or maybe some paleo pancakes when you’re in the mood for some flapjacks!
- Egg muffins are always a hit!

Paleo Maple-Nut Porridge w/ Banana
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup soaked pecans or a mixture of your preferred nuts. I put some in a bowl overnight if I do not have any on hand. I have done this with part macadamia nuts, dreamy!
- 3/4 cup boiling water
- 2 tablespoons coconut butter please refer to link above on how to easily make your own
- 1/2 very ripe banana a soaked medjool date would be another great option! Omit for keto
- 2 teaspoons real maple syrup omit for Whole30 and keto. Low carb syrup by Lankanto, or some maple flavoring would also work
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt to taste
Instructions
- If nuts are soaked, drain, and discard soaking water.
- In a blender, place all the ingredients and blend until smooth and creamy.
- Mixture will be thin. If you do not have a high powered blender the nuts will need to be soaked and NOT dehydrated.
- Place mixture into a small saucepan over medium low heat.
- Heat gently until thick and creamy. Serve.

This is absolutely delicious! One son asked if I would make it again the next day!
I did find that even after quite a while on the stove, it really did not thicken. But I’m not really surprised, as none of the ingredients seem to be the type that would thicken. It had kind of a Cream of Wheat consistency .
Thanks Lisa! Mine always thickens…rapidly…how odd!
I love the smoothness of this porridge! And even without the maple syrup it’s still sweet from the bananas. So good! Such a nice break from eggs when I’m doing a Whole 30!
I love the maple & pecans in this! Such a nice texture with the banana!
Yum! Great idea!
Oh my goodness, my husband is going to love this because his favorite oatmeal packet flavor used to be maple nut with bananas!
What a cozy and yummy breakfast idea! Seems so perfect in this chilly weather.
What a great way to add more nuts to your diet! Thanks for sharing at the Homestead Blog Hop!
Another tasty warm breakfast! Thanks for sharing it at Savoring Saturdays!
I’m not a Paleo person, but this sounds really delicious and filling! (I find the usual bowl of cereal I eat in the morning doesn’t really keep me feeling full for very long.) Can’t wait to try it. Stopping by from the Let’s Get Real party.
I’m so glad to have discovered this! Sounds delicious! Pinning!
This looks great! I haven’t seen a paleo porridge recipe yet that doesn’t use eggs – even though I don’t have an intolerance, it’s always nice to find something new!
Made this today. Didn’t have any maple syrup, so I used honey. It’s delicious!
it a surprising filling and indulgent breakfast Kelly, thanks for letting me know!
What a great option for grain-free folks!
Your creamy and delicious maple-nut porridge looks wonderful, Tessa. What a wholesome breakfast it would make. I’ve pinned it to my Paleo recipes board and will be featuring it in my Hearth and Soul Hop post this week.
Dude. I love breakfast. Especially if maple and nuts are involved. So good!

LOVE THE RECIPE! Can’t wait to try 🙂 But your bowls… where did you get THOSE from?
Thanks COurtney! I think it was Cost Plus!
Made this this morning with walnuts and pecans. I was pleasantly surprised. Almost like having marzipan for breakfast. 😀 As much as I love my bacon/ham and eggs in the morning, I can see having this every so often. Loved it. Thanks so much for the recipe!

Such an easy breakfast for my boys! Love it! Thanks for sharing at Gluten Free Fridays! I have this tweeted and pinned!
I just made this with almonds since that’s all I had on hand. I used a date and threw everything into my Vitamix. Topped it with a bit more maple syrup to satisfy my sweet tooth. I’m in HEAVEN!!!! This is sooooooo good! It took me under 5 minutes to make. That’s pretty dangerous! I fear I will become addicted. Thank you for this AMAZING recipe!
Glad you love it Lauren…and es..it is so creamy and decadent it does seem as if it could be a treat! Danger is right, ha!!! Thanks you so much for dropping back and providing feedback and sharing your version!

So glad you all liked it Heather! Having it for breakfast this morning too!
Thanks for sharing on Wildcrafting Wednesday. It sounds yummy. I was wondering how you could do porridge without oatmeal. I think I’ll like this version even better.
