Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix the banana, egg whites, milk, flax and hemp. You can use a stick blender here for a better consistency or a whisk, but watch for lumps.

Pour the mixture into a small saucepan and add the remaining ingredients (except for the butter and almond butter).

Over medium high heat, whisk the porridge continuously for 5-8 minutes. The porridge should become creamy and somewhat lumpy (kind of the consistency of Cream of Wheat cereal).

Stir in the optional ingredients and serve.

NOTES from website:
This Paleo Porridge (or Paleo Oatmeal, or Paleo Cereal or whatever you want to call it) uses milk but can also be replaced with yogurt (watered down a bit) or kefir or coconut milk. Don’t use any almond milk in a carton, the additives used are known carcinogens make your own almond milk

...The consistency is truly like a big old bowl of Cream of Wheat and it has the stick to your ribs goodness when combined with the optional ingredients. Top your yummy cereal with yogurt, nuts, fruit, honey, add in some cocoa or frozen berries, it’s truly a versatile dish. So go ahead, experiment.

I have not personally tried using whole eggs in this recipe, but I have in other porridge recipes. I think that as long as the volume of whole eggs was less than half of the egg portion of the recipe, it should taste fine. You could make Caesar salad dressing with the extra yolks? I buy organic free run egg whites in the carton when making this recipe.
