WONDER GRUEL
When you are missing a hot cereal, this is the way to go.
INGREDIENTS
• 1 small
handful of raw walnuts *soaked for 2
nights first to remove phytic acid*
• 1 small
handful of raw pecans *soaked for 2
nights first to remove phytic acid*
• 2
tablespoons ground flax seed
• 1/2–1
teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch of
ground nutmeg
• 1 pinch
ground ginger
• 1
tablespoon almond butter (we like Barney Butter)
• 1 banana,
mashed **may omit if trying to work on
weight management or diabetes- too much starch & sugar in those cases*
• 3 eggs
• 1/4 cup organic
coconut milk
• 2 teaspoons
pumpkin seeds
• 1 handful
of goji berries or fresh berries
DIRECTIONS
Soak walnuts and pecans in distilled water and real salt
overnight. I make a double batch (which provides us four meals), so I use 3
cups of water and just over 1 tsp. real salt. Strain.
Add walnuts, pecans, flax seed and spices to a food
processor and pulse it down to a coarse grain, making sure to stop before it’s
totally ground into a powder. Set aside.
Whisk together eggs and coconut milk until the consistency
thickens a little bit into loose custard. Thoroughly blend together the mashed
banana and almond butter and add it to the custard, mixing well.
Stir in the nut mixture. Gently warm on the stove until the
“no-oatmeal” reaches your desired consistency; this should only take a few
minutes. Stir the mixture frequently as it cooks, because it will easily burn.
Sprinkle pumpkin seeds and berries on top. Add more coconut milk if you want.
Other fun additions could be coconut cream concentrate or shredded coconut.
