Instructions

Add all ingredients to a small saucepan.
Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until porridge thickens and starts to bubble.
Remove from heat and add extra milk if needed to thin and increase creaminess. Transfer to bowl. Add desired toppings and serve immediately.

Notes

Ground flax meal can become gelatinous when mixed with liquid like in a flax egg. Once the porridge is removed from the heat, add extra milk to achieve the desired consistency.

Optional toppings: Fresh fruit, hemp seeds, nuts, coconut flakes, nut butter, pumpkin seeds, or cacao nibs.

To store: Let the porridge cool, then transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. When you're ready to eat, reheat the porridge in the microwave adding extra liquid if needed.

Make it keto: Use a keto-approved maple syrup substitute.
