This Pumpkin Pie Porridge is a fall-themed twist on my original Grain-Free Porridge recipe. The addition of pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice make this porridge taste just like pumpkin pie.
Pumpkin pie for breakfast, but make it healthier? Yes, please!
What is Grain-Free Porridge?
Grain-free porridge (also known as N’Oatmeal or hot cereal) has all the flavors and textures of traditional oatmeal, without the grains. It’s a macro-balanced breakfast option that’s easy to prepare and will keep you full for hours. Plus, it’s gluten-free, paleo, and Whole30-friendly.
If you’re following a grain-free or Whole30 diet and miss your morning oatmeal, this pumpkin pie porridge recipe is for you! It’s also a perfect egg-free breakfast if you’re avoiding eggs.
What are macronutrients and why are they important?
Macronutrients serve as building blocks of the body and as fuel for energy production.
There are three types — carbohydrates, fats, and proteins — and they each play an important role in the body. A balance of all three types are necessary to survive and thrive.
Let’s take a closer look at the macronutrients in this Pumpkin Pie Porridge:
- Carbohydrates — Organic pumpkin puree serves as the main carbohydrate source in this recipe. Ground flaxseeds and chia seeds also provide a fiber-rich carbohydrate source.
- Fats — Coconut milk, shredded coconut flakes, and almond flour.
- Protein — Collagen Peptides provide protein and an added gut healing bonus.
How to Make Pumpkin Pie Porridge
This recipe takes just 5 minutes to whip up over the stove, making it a great option for busy mornings.
As the porridge combines on the stove, you will notice the mixture quickly begins to bubble and thicken. Just like traditional oatmeal!
Let’s make it!
- Add all the liquid ingredients to a small saucepan, set to medium-low heat.
- Next, add the collagen and pumpkin pie spice and whisk.
- Add the pumpkin puree and remaining ingredients and whisk again until combined.
- Simmer on medium-low heat until the paleo oatmeal is bubbly and thick.
Grain-Free Porridge Toppings
In my opinion, the best part about oatmeal is the toppings! One of the reasons I never tire from this recipe (aside from it being so delicious) is that I’m always changing up the toppings.
Pumpkin Pie Porridge Topping Ideas:
- Nut butter or sunflower seed butter
- Coconut butter
- Chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans would all work well)
- Pumpkin seeds
- Store-bought or Homemade Pumpkin Spice Granola
- Shredded coconut

Notes
- Coconut Milk – You can use any dairy-free milk (homemade almond milk works great) in place of the coconut milk, but I like the extra creaminess and healthy fats it provides.

- Pumpkin Puree – Feel free to substitute the pumpkin for butternut squash or sweet potato puree.
