Have you ever just made something so simple and easy and you think wow I have outdone myself? Well, this recipe is it for me. I have been trying to find creative ways to use up my pulp from making almond milk. I have to say this is my favorite way to use it. If you are a big fan of oatmeal but have been missing it since going Paleo or you are just simply trying to limit carbs or grains then this recipe is one to try. If you do not have nut pulp you can also just use almond or pecan flour instead. Try this grain-free, dairy-free, and gluten-free version of oatmeal for a quick breakfast.
The best thing about oatmeal is that you can add so many things to it depending on what you are craving. The possibilities are endless: apples and cinnamon, cashew butter and blueberries, coconut flakes and strawberries. I love this Paleo version because it does not sit heavy in your stomach but it is still very hearty.
You can also make this the night before or prep it ahead of time. Then just pop it into the microwave and warm it up. I am sure eating it cold, like overnight oats would also be just as delicious. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do.
