Aunt Rocky’s Maple Ricotta Porridge (LCHF)

In a single serving microwavable bowl, whisk ricotta, almond milk, cream and flax. Cover and microwave for 2 minutes.

Remove from microwave and stir well. Mixture should be very thick. Add butter, syrup and pecans. Taste, and add more syrup or sweetener if desired.

Notes:
• I buy Organics ricotta at Safeway/Vons. If you can’t find that, look for the lowest carb part- skim ricotta. Full fat ricotta will make the porridge runny. If that’s all you have to use, cut the almond milk in half.
• Nutrition estimates are based on My Fitness Pal’s online recipe analyzer. Brand names are included only to assure more accurate estimates. The recipe is stored on and available to MFP users for logging in their food diaries. Sugar alcohols, Allulose, and liquid Sucralose are not absorbed by the body and rate zero on the glycemic index, so are excluded from nutrition counts.
