This warm grain-free breakfast is just what I needed today. When I woke up this morning, I was really craving something a little sweet, but also hot and comforting for breakfast.

I usually have eggs or a smoothie, but was getting tired of those. I just bought some fresh blueberries and thought that they would go perfectly with grain-free paleo oats.

Why I love this recipe

  • You can make this recipe only using 1 pot!
  • This recipe can be made in about 15 minutes which is perfect for a quick and easy breakfast!
  • The banana adds natural sweetness to this recipe without needing to use added sweeteners while the almond meal and flax adds the grainy texture reminiscent of real oats.
  • This paleo oatmeal is packed with protein from the collagen, eggs and almonds so it will keep you satiated for the whole morning. Since there are no grains and very little sugar, you wont get a blood sugar spike or sugar crash later in the day like I usually do when eating grains and sugar in the morning.

Recipe tips

  • Make sure you use almond meal for a better texture. Almond flour can be used in place of almond meal, but the texture will be different. Almond meal is ground almonds with the skin on while almond flour is ground blanched almonds with the skin taken off.
  • This recipe can be made vegan by omitting the collagen protein and swapping out the eggs with an extra 2 tbsp of ground flax seeds.
  • I haven’t tried this recipe with a different protein powder besides collagen which is flavorless and doesn’t affect the texture much, so I’m not sure how another protein powder would turn out. If you experiment with this, please comment below so we know how it turns out!
  • Make sure you use ground flax seeds since this helps to thicken the oatmeal. Whole flaxseeds will not work. You can buy ground flax seeds at most health food stores or online. Alternately, you can grind your own flax seeds using a coffee grinder.
  • You can roughly mash the banana with a fork, it doesn’t need to be free of lumps since the lumps help add to the texture of the oats!

How to make these Easy Paleo Oats

Start by gathering your ingredients. Make sure the banana is ripe and the flaxseeds are ground (not whole).

Turn on the stove heat to medium to medium-high and stir about every 30 seconds until the mixture starts to thicken more, then stir continuously until it reaches the consistency of thick oatmeal. It will take about 3-5 minutes to thicken.
