If you miss the oatmeal that you enjoyed during your pre-paleo days, you will be so excited to try this amazing “Primal Hot Cereal” from Mark Sisson.
We are visiting our friends, Scott and Sarah Pruett, in Colorado this week, and Scott told us about this delicious recipe. It is definitely a new breakfast favorite!
This bowl of breakfast goodness is smooth, warm, and creamy… perfect for these cool fall days!
Enjoy!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup almonds, whole or slivered
1/2 cup pecans
1/2 banana
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk, plus more to taste
Directions:
Pulse all ingredients in a food processor or blender until desired consistency is reached. Depending on your preference, the hot cereal can be smooth or chunky.
Warm the cereal in the microwave or on the stove until hot. Add fresh berries and more almond or coconut milk to taste.
Oh.my. How easy and looks so tasty! I’m getting tired of eggs for breakfast and so this looks perfect!
Those were my thoughts EXACTLY when I first tried this recipe. It is warm and wonderful! Enjoy!
Do you think this would this keep for any amount of time?
It might be okay the next day, but I wouldn’t think so after that. The banana in it would probably brown, and get really mushy. Haven’t tested it, but those are my thoughts.
this looks wonderful! Is it a one serving recipe?
Hilda – My husband and I usually split the recipe. Enjoy!

Just tried the primal oatmeal… so delicious! thanks so much! This is definitely a favourite!
I will have to try this one I’m sick of eggs all the time. I’m gonna have some friends over this weekend for dinner any ideas? And also for a desert? Thanks
I made this for my family and they all loved it. When we were getting ready for bed they asked if they could have it again tomorrow. Think they needed a break from eggs?
Thanks for sharing!
I just made this and it came out great, and it’s super easy. Love this recipe.
this looks really good, except for the banana. not a fan of that fruit. any alternatives?
Hi Jen… probably not. The texture of the creamy banana is what makes this recipe work.
actually, we ran out of bananas & substituted apple sauce this morning… it worked well.
Wow! That’s a great idea!
So glad you thought of the apple sauce idea! I’m allergic to bananas and was hoping something would substitute well!
Thanks!
This recipe is so awesome! My husband calls it Paleo Wallpaper Paste but cause it keeps him full all morning.
Thanks for sharing!
NANCY I made this this morning for the first time and it is awesome. I made it with applesauce instead of a banana and I processed it so it was chucky. I think that is the key.
Hi. How much applesauce did you use?
Thx
Looks great but what about all the omega 6 in the nuts?
Joan,
I believe it is okay to consume some nuts if you do so in moderation, and not too often. I eat this breakfast with plenty of omega-3-rich grass-fed beef.

Very easy & yummy! I didn’t have any banana so I used apple sauce & it tasted great.
I made a Paleo Porridge this morning without banana and it was awesome. I ground up almonds and walnuts, added a handful of raisins and some coconut flakes, sprinkled on some pumpkin pie spice and poured on the coconut milk. Heated it all up and it was so satisfying!
I really like your idea of the raisins and coconut flakes and the pumpkin pie spice. What a great idea!
This is delicious! Love it!
I’m thinking this would freeze quite nicely. Haven’t tried it yet, but it does sound tasty. Soon.
Wow. I’m so glad I tried this. Took less than 5minutes start to finish and very satisfying. I used my individual smoothie blender and that makes clean up simple simple. I l
ove slow food, but breakfast isn’t when I want to spend and hour in the kitchen! Thanks!
Tried this this morning…so good and so filling! Perfect for before workouts too!
I love this! I also added half a cup of diced apple
made this again o a cold winter day & added dried apricots, pitted dates, apple infused cranberries, raisins, chia seeds & vanilla; I left out the banana; yummy!
ABSOLUTELY A-MAZING!!!! I want more, right now! I was SO utterly sick of eggs! Thank you!
This was fantastic – thanks for posting!! I used 1/4 cup almonds and 1/4 cup of walnuts with 1/2 banana, almond milk, cinnamon and a pinch of salt. It made the perfect bowl full of “oatmeal” and kept me going through a long workout and beyond.
