Paleo Pumpkin Porridge

The perfect allergy-friendly breakfast for a chilly morning, this paleo pumpkin porridge is easy to whip up and free from refined sugars, so you can enjoy it without guilt.

Warm comfort food.

Mmm… Hot breakfasts are so wonderful in the fall and winter! Especially when they contain pumpkin…. and chocolate. Two of my favorite things in one breakfast is pretty much a dream come true!

But you know, it’s not good to have chocolate every day for breakfast… Though if that’s what you like, I’m definitely not going to stop you. In fact, I wrote a whole round-up of healthy paleo ways to have chocolate for breakfast.

But that’s beside the post… Since I’m pretending I don’t eat chocolate for breakfast every day (I really don’t, promise), let’s focus on the other breakfast favorite: hot pumpkin breakfast things.

Paleo pumpkin porridge.

Back when I was just plain old gluten-free, I used to chow down on mini pumpkin donuts or pumpkin pie pancakes, but now, being pretty paleo, those are off the table. These days I’m eating my fill of easy pumpkin butter on my breakfast things and this delicious paleo pumpkin porridge.

This breakfast is sort of a cross between a pudding and a porridge, making it 100% comfort food and perfect for chilly mornings. It’s probably my favorite quick-fix breakfast for pumpkin-everything season. Which could probably actually be all year long for me.

After all, pumpkins are full of vitamins and minerals, so why not eat the pumpkin things year-round? They’re packed with vitamin A, C, E, and B-vitamins, plus magnesium, potassium, manganese, copper, phosphorus, calcium, and iron. They’re also a good source of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds and carotenoids.

Options.

For this paleo pumpkin porridge, like pretty much any recipe, you can use either store-bought canned pumpkin puree or make your own! I have an easy tutorial on making your own pumpkin puree that you can use if you’ve never done it.

I usually use whatever dairy-free milk I have on hand. Which is usually either my homemade coconut milk, or Aldi’s almond milk. I also usually sweeten it with honey, but maple syrup is a taste option for a treat!

And if you insist on eating chocolate for breakfast, you can always add in a tablespoon or two of cocoa powder (I love the fair-trade organic stuff from Azure!) and up the sweetener a tad. Either way, it’s delicious!
