Keto Porridge Recipe | Quick and easy
Before jumping to the recipe please note that the below information contains HOT TIPS for this recipe. We try and answer all your questions to guarantee a perfect keto recipe every time.
My Keto Porridge recipe just had to be shared. This is so quick, easy and delicious it is a must make recipe!
Before changing to the ketogenic lifestyle I have to say I loved my quick oats for the occasional breakfast and this low carb porridge has more than filled that gap.
I actually prefer this porridge recipe over any other I have tried. Oddly enough it still tastes a little like the real thing to me. I mean it kind of tastes “oaty”. I think it is the addition of the golden flaxmeal that gives this porridge a real earthiness.
So let’s have a little look at the keto porridge ingredients and how to make it. Oh and even more excitingly some tasty flavour variations.
What you need to make this Keto Porridge Recipe
- Coconut Flour. Now I know the idea of a coconut flour porridge recipe does not excite some of you so I have included an almond meal option.
- Golden flax seed meal. For those of you with brown flax you can use it but it will be more savoury and bitter. I love golden flax meal and use it in loads of recipes so well worth buying some.
- Whey protein isolate. WPI adds extra protein to the porridge and creaminess. It can be substituted with micellar protein powder as well.
- Almond milk, coconut milk or macadamia milk. You choose what ever milk you want to use in your keto porridge.
Low Carb Porridge Variations
There are endless variations you can make with keto porridge but here are just a few of my favourites.
- Vanilla Honey. Low Carb Emporium have a new low carb, no sugar honey that is pretty incredible. I mix this with a small amount of vanilla seeds to make a tasty vanilla honey to drizzle over the top
- Peanut Butter. Any nut butter will do and this is one of my most favourite porridges or even Chia Pudding.
- Chocolate. Mix with some unsweetened cocoa or cacao powder. Mix it through well for a creamy chocolate porridge recipe.
- Brown “sugar”. A teaspoon of Sukrin Gold sweetener in granular or fibre syrup for that old fashioned brown sugar porridge taste.
- Berry. Whether you make a fresh berry porridge or use a sugar free jam this makes for a very tasty porridge indeed. In the picture above I have some Hawthorne Hill sugar free Blackberry Jam.
3 Ways to make this Porridge
- Stove top porridge. Simple quick and easy and all in one saucepan over low to moderate heat. Keep stirring until the porridge is thickened and to your liking.
- Microwave porridge. My favourite as it is done in 3 minutes.
- Thermomix® porridge. Still easy and a set and forget cooking method that allows you to make a topping while the Thermomix® does all the work.

Would egg protein powder work in this? I don’t have any WPI at the moment. Also, the thermo method doesn’t have the speed for the blend step – “Blend all ingredients 5 seconds/speed Scrape down sides”.
Whoops thanks Kristen I will fix that now. I haven’t tried the egg protein but I am going to say yes it will work fine.
Megan, what could you substitute for the whey protein isolate, please?
I have written the substitutes in the blog post. ALternatively you can just leave out if you wish.
This was yummy! I don’t know why I thought i was making a single serve but I once I added the milk it was obviously for 4. I ate the whole 4 servings for breakfast today anyway. I think i will make up single serve sandwich ziplock baggies so I don’t have to measure in the mornings 😊 I could definitely eat this every day. One of my 2 year olds helped me too.
Haha. It is pretty filling.
This is an amazing recipe, it’s so filling and brings that comfort feeling over you. I prep in advance, divide up for our work b’fast then just reheat and top as needed. It’s perfect winter food!
Thanks Christine x

Thanks Adrianne it is pretty delicious!

Wow. Just made this for DD’s breakfast tomorrow. Taste is sensational. Think it may be a regular breakfast especially with winter coming soon. Thanks for a delicious change from eggs 🙂
Yeah I love the porridge and can see it being made here a bit with the weather cooling down. Thanks for trying it and leaving a great review Sue.
