This Flaxseed Porridge recipe is a new favorite in our household!  My husband is a big oatmeal lover, but me… not so much!  I do really like overnight bircher muesli, but I usually am looking for a warm and hearty breakfast in the morning. This flax meal porridge hits all the marks: creamy, comforting, simple, all-natural, and SO good for you!

If you’ve never enjoyed flaxseeds – highly recommend that you add them into your meals!  They are great stirred into breakfasts, blended into smoothies, and baked into muffins and pancakes.  They’re flavorful and nutty AND are amazing superfoods. Flaxseeds can help prevent cancer, control hypertension, and so much more-  head on over to Nutrition Facts to read about ’em.

  • Hearty
  • Filling

Make Flaxseed Porridge Vegan

This vegan flaxseed oatmeal is a simple way to get extra veggies in your diet. I’m all about making recipes plant-based when I can. Vegan cooking does NOT have to be bland, boring, or flavorless… It’s quite the opposite when done right. By building meals around vegan pantry staples and swapping in a few plant-based ingredients you can make better meals for you and your family.

What’s In This Flaxseed Oatmeal Recipe?

See the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!

  • Flaxseed Meal: Sweet, nutty, and delicious. I always add a scoop in my oatmeal and smoothies.
  • Milk – I used unsweetened Almond Milk for my version of this recipe.
  • Almond Flour or Almond Meal – You can buy pre-ground almond flour (I make a wicked pie crust out of them!) or you can use any leftovers from making nut milk for a great no-waste recipe.
  • Maple Syrup
  • Cinnamon: which gives this breakfast a subtle spice-y flavor!  I love to add in a pinch for extra warmth and depth of flavor.
  • Apples, or any Fruit of your choice
  • Pinch salt
  • Nuts for garnish, I used walnuts

Save that Leftover Almond Pulp for a No-Waste Recipe!

I’m all about saving, reusing, or repurposing as much as I can in my kitchen. This easy breakfast flaxseed porridge is the perfect recipe to repurpose something you may be tempted to throw out. Instead of tossing the extra pulp or meal from making nut milk in the compost or garbage, you can repurpose it into a delicious and flavorful breakfast.  I’m all about saving anything I can from my kitchen, and this porridge is a great way to avoid letting leftovers go to waste!
