I was making my no-oat paleo “instant oatmeal” for breakfast the other day, and I realized it would save time to make a big batch of oatmeal mix for the week.
I'm almost through my first batch — I love the convenience of having it ready to go in the mornings. Here's how to make your own paleo instant oatmeal mix.
This recipe is super simple. All you have to do is mix together the dry ingredients for the paleo oatmeal recipe. Since this is a grain-free n'oatmeal, the dry ingredients are just almond flour, unsweetened shredded coconut, cinnamon and sea salt.
To make your instant oatmeal, just mash half of a banana in the bottom of a cereal bowl, stir in a scoop of the oatmeal mix and some nut milk, and pop it in the microwave.
When it's done, top your paleo oatmeal with all your favorite oatmeal toppings. I like fresh blueberries, chopped walnuts, and real maple syrup.
Make this oatmeal mix over the weekend and you'll have a quick and easy hot breakfast to make at home. Or an easy portable gluten-free, dairy-free breakfast to make in the microwave at work. This post contains some affiliate links for your convenience. You can read my full disclosure policy here.

Thank you for sharing this awesome recipe!
You’re welcome, Joyce! 🙂
So excited to try this on a cold morning. I wonder if yummy could substitute diced apples for the bananas sometimes?
The bananas add to the oatmeal texture, so I wouldn’t leave them out. But diced apples and extra cinnamon would be a yummy topping!
I use applesauce instead of a banana, and it’s really, really yummy.
How much applesauce do you use as a substitute?
can we use coconut flour?
I haven’t tested it, but I’m guessing you would need to use less coconut flour and add more liquid. If you try it, let me know how it turns out!
What could you replace the coconut with maybe flax or hemp seeds
What are your thoughts on using Almond Milk instead of Cashew?
Hi Dina, I haven’t tested it but I think it should be fine.
I did, and it was fantastic!
This is amazing I made this today and I love it!!!
Glad you love it Emily!
I don’t microwave. so I’ll try it with warmed nut milk.
What is the nutritional information ? I tried it today topped with apples and strawberries!
This is even better than oatmeal. I was worrying what I could use as a suitable replacement. Well, this is it! Goodbye oatmeal!
I am wondering how much carbs are in a serving please. I’ve not tried it as get as I am reaching low carb recipes. I am still weighing up keto verses paleo and whole foods. Any insights I would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Darlene, the full nutrition panel is in the paleo oatmeal post. I also have a long post about keto vs. paleo here. Hope his helps!
