Equipment

Baking sheet
Medium saucepan
Skillet
Measuring cups and spoons
Stirring Spoon

Ingredients

1 cup pumpkin puree
¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
½ cup coconut cream
¼ cup crushed walnuts
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
Sweetener to taste e.g., stevia, erythritol, or monk fruit
A pinch of salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the pumpkin puree on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes until slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through. This will intensify the pumpkin flavor.
In a medium saucepan, combine the roasted pumpkin puree, almond milk, coconut cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and a pinch of salt. Warm the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently.
Once the mixture is heated through, reduce the heat to low and add the chia seeds. Stir well to ensure they are fully incorporated.
Simmer the porridge for 5-7 minutes, or until it reaches your desired thickness, stirring occasionally.
Taste and adjust the sweetness by adding your preferred low-carb sweetener to taste.
Toast the crushed walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant and slightly browned, about 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Serve the porridge hot, garnished with toasted walnuts. Optionally, you can add a dollop of whipped coconut cream on top for extra richness.

Notes

For a creamier porridge, you can blend the mixture before adding the chia seeds.

This porridge can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making it a great make-ahead breakfast option.

Feel free to customize the porridge with your favorite keto-friendly toppings, such as coconut flakes, hemp seeds, or a drizzle of keto maple syrup.
