    FAQs

    Q: Can I make this porridge ahead of time?

    A: Yes, you can prepare this porridge ahead of time. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat it on the stove or in the microwave, adding a little almond milk if needed to reach the desired consistency.

    Q: Can I use other nuts instead of pecans?

    A: Absolutely! Walnuts, almonds, or hazelnuts would work well in this recipe. Feel free to use your favourite nuts or whatever you have on hand.

    Q: Is there a vegan option for this recipe?

    A: Yes, to make this porridge vegan, use coconut oil instead of butter.

    Q: What can I use if I don’t have almond flour?

    A: You can substitute almond flour with coconut flour, but use half the amount as coconut flour is more absorbent. Adjust the liquid as needed to reach the desired consistency.
