2. Add the 0.25 cup / 34 g (1.2 oz) of ground flaxseed, 0.25 cup / 28 g (0.99 oz) of coconut flour, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of cinnamon to the pot; whisk the mixture gently to combine.
3. Slowly increase the heat to medium-low until the mixture starts to bubble, then stir in the 1 tsp / 5 ml of vanilla extract and 10 drops of liquid stevia.

Pro Tips
• Watch the Absorption: Coconut flour is highly absorbent. If your porridge becomes too thick too quickly, simply whisk in an extra 1 tbsp / 15 ml of almond milk or water to reach your desired consistency.
• Toast Your Toppings: For a deeper, nuttier flavor, lightly toast the shaved coconut and pumpkin seeds in a dry pan for 1–2 minutes. It adds a satisfying crunch that contrasts beautifully with the creamy base.
• Sweetener Adjustments: Liquid stevia is potent. Start with 5 drops, taste, and add more if needed. If you prefer a granular sweetener like erythritol, substitute with approx. 1 tbsp / 12 g. (0.42 oz)
• Butter is Key: Don’t skip the butter! It provides a rich mouthfeel that mimics traditional grains. For a dairy-free or Paleo option, swap the butter for an equal amount of ghee or coconut oil.
FAQ
Q: Can I make this keto hot cereal ahead of time
A: Yes, you can prepare this cereal in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It will thicken as it cools, so you may need to add a splash of almond milk or water when reheating it on the stovetop or in the microwave.
Q: What can I use instead of almond milk
A: You can easily substitute almond milk with other keto-friendly options. Unsweetened coconut milk (from a carton), macadamia milk, or a mix of heavy cream and water will work well in this recipe.
Q: Is this keto porridge dairy-free
A: The cereal base is naturally dairy-free. To make the entire dish dairy-free and Paleo-friendly, simply replace the butter topping with an equal amount of coconut oil or ghee as suggested in the pro tips.
Q: My cereal is too thick what should I do
A: Don’t worry, that’s normal! Coconut flour is very absorbent and can thicken the mixture quickly. Simply whisk in an extra tablespoon of almond milk or water at a time until you reach your desired creamy consistency.
Pro Tips
- Coconut flour absorbs liquid fast — if the porridge tightens before it reaches the bowl, whisk in an extra tablespoon of almond milk to loosen it back to a porridge consistency.
- Toast the shaved coconut and pumpkin seeds in a dry pan for 1-2 minutes first. The warm crunch against the creamy base is what makes the bowl feel like real cereal.
- Start with 5 drops of liquid stevia, taste, and build up to 10 — it's potent. If you prefer granular sweetener, about 1 tbsp of erythritol does the same job.
- Don't skip the butter: it's what gives the porridge a rich, grain-like mouthfeel. Ghee or coconut oil swap in 1:1 for a dairy-free version.
- Weigh the blueberries instead of scooping them. They're the main carb source in the bowl, and 2 oz keeps the net carbs right where the recipe says.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this hot blueberry cereal keto-friendly?
One large serving has about 18 g net carbs (44 g total, 26 g fiber), which fits most keto days when the rest of your meals stay low. For a stricter bowl, halve the blueberries and shaved coconut.
Can I make this porridge ahead of time?
It's best cooked fresh in the 7 minutes it takes on the stove. If you do make it ahead, reheat with a splash of almond milk, since coconut flour keeps thickening as it sits.
Can I make the cereal dairy-free?
Yes — replace the 2 tbsp butter with the same amount of ghee or coconut oil. The rest of the bowl is already dairy-free.
How do I store leftovers?
Keep the cooked base in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 2 days and store the toppings separately so the coconut and pumpkin seeds stay crunchy.
