Easy Apple Cinnamon Paleo Hot Cereal {Sugar-Free, Vegan}

Sharing is caring!

Vegan Egg Free No Added Sugar

This easy Apple Cinnamon Paleo Hot Cereal is ready in just 10 minutes, free of added sugar, Paleo, and vegan.  Just as delicious for an afternoon snack as it is for breakfast!

I’m sneaking in a recipe today!  On a Thursday – yes – this is the day I typically ramble on about thoughts and life, but, I thought you might want to get in on this preeeetty spectacular Paleo breakfast recipe.

A breakfast recipe, that – oh yes my friends – is SWEET and contains no eggs.   Sometimes I just don’t want eggs.  Or kale.  Or meat.

Dare I say even bacon for that matter?  (Sounds crazy, but I’ve been on bacon overdrive lately and I’ve had enough.  For one day.  And yes I know bacon is a meat, but it goes in its own category as far as I’m concerned.)

I guess I’ve also been having a whole lot of fun creating clean-eating recipes with my apples lately, and had to see what else I could do.  Don’t you guys love the cinnamon apple combination?  Heck yes, for me.

I also find that cooked apples are so much more pleasant on my digestion than raw, and I’m always happy to find new ways to cook them.

What Do I Need to Make Apple Cinnamon Paleo Hot Cereal?

The ingredients are super simple!  Here’s what you’ll need:

Coconut Oil

Large Apple (or 2 smaller ones)

Raw Nuts (use your favorite!)

Sea salt

Unsweetened Almond Milk

Shredded coconut

Raisins

Cinnamon

Toppings!

How Long Will it Take to Make Paleo Hot Cereal?

From start to finish, you can make this cereal in just 15 minutes for the quick version.  If you want a softer cereal you can cook it longer, with a bit more almond milk.

If you have NO TIME in the morning – whatsoever – you can make the entire thing the night before – minus toppings – and simply top with a bit of almond milk, heat, top and eat.   The leftovers might even taste better the next day!

What Are Some Good Toppings for this Apple Cinnamon Paleo Hot Cereal?

As far as toppings go, the sky’s the limit (the sky, or paleo, however you view it!)

The first time I made this I went with sliced bananas and coconut butter for me, almond butter for Adam.  The second time, I added bananas and nothing else and it was perfect.  I also love topping it with dairy free, paleo friendly yogurt (think coconut, cashew, or almond yogurt) and just a little bit of maple or honey (love this Manuka honey!) if I want extra sweetness.

Add whatever suits your mood, or add nothing at all, up to you!

The last great thing?  You can eat this any time of day and it just WORKS.  Breakfast, lunch, light dinner (if you roll that way), even dessert.

I actually just had this for lunch because I’m rushing to get work done before picking up the kids, and I had leftovers in the fridge!  You’ll love that it’s sugar-free (so not quite a baked-good) but still has some sweetness to it, along with healthy fats.

I hope you’re ready for this seriously delicious, grain free, vegan, and paleo hot cereal!  Let’s grab those apples and nuts and all the other yummy stuff in this cereal – time to go!

Ingredients

For the hot cereal:

  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 large apple or 2 small, peeled and diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 1 cup chopped raw nuts walnuts, cashews, pecans or a combination (I used cashews and walnuts)
  • 1/8-1/4 tsp sea salt or to taste
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk *or canned light coconut milk, see note
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • dash nutmeg optional
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut finely shredded
  • 1/4 cup raisins or chopped dates

Toppings to serve with:

  • 1-2 bananas sliced
  • unsweetened almond butter or coconut butter
  • Additional almond milk
  • Paleo/vegan friendly yogurt, like coconut, cashew, or almond milk yogurt of choice

Instructions

  1. Heat a large saucepan over med-low heat and add the coconut oil until melted.

  2. Add the apples and nuts, sprinkle with salt, stir, and cook for about 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until apples begin to soften and nuts begin to brown

  3. Lower the heat to low and add the almond milk, shredded coconut, raisins and cinnamon, stir.

  4. Raise the heat and bring to a boil. Allow to boil while stirring for a minute, then lower to a simmer, cover, and cook another 5 minutes (*see note) until the apples are soft and some liquid is absorbed. Nuts will soften but will still have a crunch*

  5. Serve hot with toppings like sliced banana, more almond milk (or even NutPods!), coconut butter, your favorite nut butter, or dairy-free yogurt**

  6. You can also make the hot cereal ahead of time, store covered in the refrigerator (without toppings), heat prior to serving and then add toppings. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

*If you have more time and want a softer hot cereal, you can add 1/4-1/2 cup more almond milk and simmer about 10 minutes longer, or until desired consistency is reached.

**You can also drizzle with a little of your favorite sweetener, like maple syrup or honey, or sprinkle with coconut sugar and extra cinnamon.

    Do you find that cooked fruit and cooked veggies are better on your digestion? I think I’m finding that too, but I can handle some raw veggies and fruits.

    And this looks EPIC. Chunky is my favorite.

    Ahhh! Did you hear my happy scream thousands of kilometers away? haha After 6 days of whole30 egg casserole this is EXACTLY what I need. I will have to adjust a little because nuts used to give me major tummy aches but will try to include a little amount at first and see how it goes. Thanks for sharing, perfect timing!

      I think if you try it you should cook it longer so perhaps the nuts are more digestible, or you could go heavier on the shredded coconut and sub flax meal if you can do that. More of a “porridge” then but I bet it would be great! I totally hear you on the eggs, lol 🙂

      Hi! It’s basically 30 days of strict paleo for the purpose of resetting, reducing inflammation, and then reintroducing the eliminated foods one by one to observe reactions. It’s how I got into Paleo to begin with in 2013 – here’s the website: http://whole30.com

We had strawberries in our bowls this morning and at one point, I thought she had blood on the side of her head…nope just strawberry juice. Thank goodness. 🙂

        Almond milk is a “read your labels” food for Whole30, meaning if the ingredients on the label are compliant, then it’s good to go. Here is the info: https://whole30.com/2013/06/the-official-can-i-have-guide-to-the-whole30/

    On Day 7 of my second whole30 and my boyfriend’s first. I was scrolling through pinterest looking for whole30 breakfast recipes because we were looking for something without eggs. We are already so burnt out on eggs!!! My boyfriend looked over and saw the picture and demanded it for dessert. We split one serving and didn’t even finish it, it was so rich, delicious, and filling! We are saving our leftoers to accompany breakfast in the morning, and we will definitely make this recipe again and again!

      March 19, 2017 at 4:08 pm

      I haven’t frozen it so I’m not sure what to expect with the reheating! I would think it would turn out fine since you’re not really looking for crunch anyway, and can always reheat a bit longer if there’s too much liquid. Glad you like it!

    I like to make bigger batches of meals ahead and then eat throughout the week (I only cook for myself). How long do you think this would keep? I assume the apples would be the only thing that might begin to go bad.

      Sounds like cooking a bit longer, or on a higher heat setting to let more liquid boil off would do the trick. You can always add more at the end if it gets too dry.

      You can keep it lower by having a smaller serving, it’s very nutrient dense due to the nuts and coconut.

    This was very tasty & satisfied my oatmeal craving. However, even though I let this simmer for 10min it was still too watery for me. I’ll definitely make again if I figure out how to thicken it.

      To get it thicker you can simply cook it longer. You can also bake it as I did in this apple cinnamon breakfast bake:

    I’ve been trying out new breakfast recipes the past couple of weeks and I have to say, this was one of, if not the best so far! I made it the night before and heated it at a lower wattage in the microwave in the morning so it wouldn’t burn. It smelled so amazing that I only topped it with banana and more milk to start, but I think next time I’ll try the new chestnut spread I just bought. Because I will definitely be making this again!

    I have to admit. At first, I wasn’t quite sure how this was going to turn out. The pictures look amazing, but for a person just diving into the “no sugar” world, I felt as if it was gonna miss something. You know, like plain oatmeal, it just lacks a some pizazz. But, WOW was I wrong. This is DELICIOUS. Almost too good to be considered healthy. Upon first bite I was hooked. I never leave comments on blogs, but had to come back and let you know just how amazing this simple recipe is. 🙂

    That was… absolutely YUM! So what I needed on Day 11 of my Whole30.
    Love the variety of flavor and texture. Thanks for this!

    Thanks for the recipe! We really enjoyed it and it was the only whole 30/paleo breakfast porridge that wasn’t gummy or gooey. I would suggest putting the ingredients in order to standardize the recipe and make it easier to read.

    I’m doing the Whole30 and missing my morning oatmeal. This was so yummy I may never go back to oatmeal. I used coursely ground walnuts and cashews while made a creamy like texture, and topped with I/2 sliced bananas and a sprinkle of sliced almonds.

    This warm breakfast is delicious!!! I often miss oatmeal since my allergy, but this more then replaces it. I live to make a weeks worth and store in the refrigerator like over night oats for an easy on the go breakfast!

    What a great change away from eggs! This is a nice warm, sweet breakfast.

    I did wonder when you add the cinnimon and nutmeg? I was following the recipe and didn’t see it, so I just added it at the end.

    Due to severe allergies, I’ve made the transition to paleo. This was hearty and delicious, and much better than having oats. Looking forward to trying other recipes in this blog.
