Notes
- Vanilla extract is not Core AIP compliant as is due to the alcohol content. But because this recipe cooks the vanilla, the alcohol cooks off, and I consider it compliant. If you want to be very strict, sub in vanilla powder for the extract or leave it out entirely.
- If you're eating Modified AIP, add ¼ teaspoon of ground nutmeg to really round out the pumpkin spice flavor.
- This is very lightly sweetened on it’s own—it really shines topped with some hot maple syrup!
- Coconut porridge tends to go from too-thin to too-thick in a heartbeat, so if you need to thin it out, just add a touch more water.
- If you’re in the AIP reintroduction phase or eating Modified AIP, this is really good with a little puddle of ghee on top.
