Egg-free Paleo Breakfast Ideas!

"Oatmeal"/Porridge 3 ways!
Turkey bacon with veggies
Paleo Protein shake!

Paleo Coconut Blueberry (Muffin) Porridge/"Oatmeal"
Paleo: Dairy-Grain-Refined-sugar-free/Gluten-free/Vegan: egg-free

This recipe seriously tastes like a blueberry muffin....give it a shot and try to tell me that I'm wrong :P



Ingredients:

  • 2 TBS coconut flour
  • 2/3-3/4 cup liquid: 2/2-3/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk from a carton or 2 TBS coconut milk from a can and fill up to 2/3-3/4 cup measurement with water
  • 1/2 date roll (almond removed)
  • 5 drops of vanilla stevia (if you use the whole date roll I recommend not putting stevia in-- it will be too sweet)
  • Frozen Blueberries- about 1/2 a handful or however much you like
  • Cinnamon
Directions
  1. Place your 3/4 cup liquid in a saucepan
  2. break up your date roll into pieces so that it can dissolve better in the liquid
  3. bring up to a high simmer and continue to stir
  4. once it up to a simmer smoosh date roll with the back of a wooden spoon against the sauce pan so that it can be dissolve into the liquid (if any gets stuck to the back of the wooden spoon get another small spoon and scrape off the moosh and put it into your liquid for further dissolving)
  5. Once it looks like the date roll is pretty dissolved (it wont be perfect) add in your stevia-- if you wont be using the whole date roll
  6.  Add the 2TBS of coconut flour cook for a little bit then add in your frozen blueberries and cinnamon (to taste)
  7. let it re-warm a bit from the frozen blueberries and serve with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top
  8. Tell me it doesn't taste like a blueberry muffin ;)


Theo's (Sea Salt) Chocolate "Oatmeal" (Chia Seed) Recipe
or  if your not into chocolate as much as I am- 
Paleo Pumpkin Pie Chia Seed pudding/porridge/"oatmeal
---dont add the Cocoa pwd but instead add in lots of cinnamon, pumpkin spice/ ginger pwd--

Paleo: Dairy-Grain-Refined-sugar-free/Gluten-free/Vegan: egg-free




So this recipe has had an interesting progression from using coconut milk from a can to using actual oats.

But with new found love of chia seeds and trying to convert back to my paleo ways I had to find another option to include them in my breakfast other than adding them to my smoothies well here you go you lucky people I have devised an amazing breakfast or even dessert ;) that reminds me of the Salted dark chocolate that Theo's makes! It's sooooooooo goood.... you have to try this!

This recipes is similar to the coconut version with a few minor tweaks

Optional change if you like banana- 
Instead of using pumpkin puree and a date roll you can use 1 banana to replace both.

Ingredients:

  • 2 TBS Chia Seeds
  • 2/3-3/4 cup liquid: 2/2-3/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk from a carton or 2 TBS coconut milk from a can and fill up to 3/4 cup measurement with water
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree (I used it from a can)
  • 1 TBS Cocoa Pwd
  • 1/2 date roll (almond removed)
  • 5 drops chocolate stevia
  • Sea Salt
  • cinnamon
  • optional- 1/2 tsp vanilla protein pwd (makes it creamier)
  •  (If making pumpkin pie version exclude the Cocoa pwd; add cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice/ ginger pwd

 Directions:

1. Place your 3/4 cup liquid in a saucepan
2. break up your date roll into pieces so that it can dissolve better in the liquid
4. Add in your 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
3. bring up to a high simmer and continue to stir (incorporating the pumpkin puree)
4. once it up to a simmer smoosh date roll with the back of a wooden spoon against the sauce pan so that it can be dissolve into the liquid (if any gets stuck to the back of the wooden spoon get another small spoon and scrape off the moosh and put it into your liquid for further dissolving)
5. Once it looks like the date roll is pretty dissolved (it wont be perfect) add in your stevia and a pinch of salt-- if you wont be using the whole date roll
6. Add the 2 TBS of Chia seeds and stir
  • 7. Once the chia seeds start to gel and thicken the mixture and in the 1 TBS Cocoa, cinnamon pwd and optional protein pwd (If making pumpkin pie version exclude the Cocoa pwd; add cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice/ ginger pwd
8. stir until its all incorporated
9. place in a bowl and if its chocolate top with a sprinkling of sea salt on top to reminisce on the amazing Theo's sea salt dark chocolate mmm... yum...
