BUTTERNUT SQUASH PALEO 'PORRIDGE'



Butternut Squash Paleo 'Porridge' image

This recipe was made with the paleo 'diet' in mind. It's gluten-free, dairy-free, and has no added sugar. I needed an alternative to other paleo breakfasts since I also cannot have eggs. This is the result. Those with fewer restrictions might enjoy stirring in a bit of maple syrup, adding brown sugar, or topping with granola for extra crunch.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH PORRIDGE

My mother used to make this recipe for me when I was a kid in Russia. It is good for breakfast with some milk, brown sugar, and raisins. You can also add some other spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. Hulled millet can be found in most health food stores. It is very healthy as it is a whole grain that contains lots of protein.

This porridge is great to warm up in the morning for a quick and easy delicious breakfast. If you are grain free and missing oatmeal this is a great alternative. You can top it with whatever you fancy. Some suggestions are shredded coconut, bananas, strawberries, blueberries, or sliced tigernuts.
