Keto Coconut Porridge | Kevin Wagonfoot
I’ll be honest: my first attempt at keto left me staring at eggs for the hundredth time, wondering if this was really how I wanted to live. Then I stumbled onto coconut porridge, and suddenly mornings got a whole lot easier to stick with.
This recipe from the 5-Ingredient Keto Cookbook is the kind of thing that tastes indulgent enough to feel like breakfast, not a life choice I’m regretting.
Why This Works for Keto
The beauty of this porridge is that it keeps your carbs low while delivering the creamy, comforting bowl you actually want to eat. Coconut keeps you satisfied longer, and you’re not relying on willpower alone to get through to lunch. It’s the kind of breakfast that works with your keto goals instead of against them.

Keto Coconut Porridge
Start your day with a delightful bowl of Keto Coconut Porridge, crafted for a creamy, satisfying breakfast experience. This simple yet tasty dish is low in carbs and rich in healthy fats.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon erythritol
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine shredded coconut and almond milk over medium heat. Stir continuously to prevent sticking until the mixture begins to simmer.
- Once simmering, add chia seeds and erythritol. This will help to thicken the porridge and add a touch of sweetness. Stir well to combine everything.
- Lower the heat and let it cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. The mixture should become thick and creamy; it's done when it reaches your desired consistency.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and mix in vanilla extract for added flavor. This step enhances the taste and aroma of your porridge.
- Serve warm in bowls, and if desired, top with additional coconut or a sprinkle of chia seeds. Enjoy the fragrant and creamy texture as a hearty breakfast.

Tips & Variations
- Don't skip the full-fat coconut milk. I learned that the hard way. The cheap stuff won't give you that luxurious texture.
- I make a double batch and portion it out. Reheats beautifully, and hungrier mornings are already handled.
- Taste before you sweeten. Different coconut milk brands vary, so you might need less sweetener than you think.
