This paleo oatmeal recipe will satisfy oat lovers without derailing the paleo diet.
First things first: texture.Oatmeal, even paleo oatmeal, needs to be thick, but not necessarily smooth.
That’s where nuts, seeds, and flaked coconut come in.
As these healthy fat-packing ingredients cook down, they become soft but never too mushy.
Next up: creaminess.
As oats cook, they break down, releasing starch that helps oatmeal bind together.
And for that, turn to almond flour, chia, and flaxseeds.
