Keto Walnut-Cashew Porridge
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup (35g) raw cashews
- 1/4 cup (27g) walnuts
- 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 medium apple, chopped
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Directions
Soak the cashews and walnuts in cool water for at least 4 hours or overnight, then drain and rinse. Place the soaked nuts in a food processor and grind to a slightly chunky texture, then transfer to a small pot. Add almond milk and vanilla and place over low heat. Stir for about 5 minutes to soften and thicken the mixture. Stir in chia seeds and cook for another minute. Remove from heat. If desired, let cool and store, tightly covered, for up to four days, reheating as needed in the microwave. In a medium bowl, toss the chopped apple and cinnamon and serve porridge with apple pieces on top.
