My new Oatmeal! I really enjoy this recipe, probably because I really like coconut. I think it would have been better with fresh fruit rather than dried, or perhaps I needed to branch out and try some new dried fruits. However, it was filling and tasty, and not difficult to make.
I had to cook it longer, and on a higher heat, than the recipe said in order to make it thicken. I will definitely try this again with a few changes.

Comfort Food. Since I love coconut, this porridge was a delightful treat. A pinch of salt, as well as a pinch of cinnamon or other baking spice adds to the flavor.
Linda
This was grainy and THICK, almost like paste. Maybe i did something wrong?
Petra
Love it! I added some raisins with the coconut while it was cooking. That made them plump and juicy, which was delicious. I also added a little bit of vanilla & some cinnamon. I found it did not need any additional sweetener. A nice variation on the usual meat & vegetable AIP breakfast.

Too grainy but maybe with modifications? I was quite excited about this porridge recipe but i agree with others. In its current form, it is too grainy. I am going to try again — possibly by reducing the amount of coconut flour and increasing the shredded coconut. I think this will also help with the pasty texture. We will see… 🙂

Just not a great recipe overall, needs a few more suggestions on what to add and an improvement in texture.

Preferred cold. I loved this! I made enough for two days of leftovers. The only change I made was putting on a dollop of pure fruit preserve instead of adding fruit. I also found I liked it better leftover after it had been refrigerated!

I found that it was too much of the same thing. Added some melted frozen fruit for more flavour. More like a dessert then. Keeping the banana whole might be better as well. Very different though.
Helen
Love this for an AIP breakfast. I add the raisins during cooking to plump them up. Easy to modify by changing the add-ins.

Like Porridge. This comes out with a texture like porridge, but with a flavor of bananas. Hint: we stir in a sizable amount of cinnamon too. 😉

The texture is really grainy. It was quite disappointing. I’m thinking less coconut flour would be better.
