Ingredients

• 2 large yams (peeled and cubed)
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 0.5 cup water
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (Whole30-approved)
• 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 cup toasted pecans (optional, for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and cube the yams into small, evenly sized pieces for quicker cooking.

Step 2

Add the yam cubes to a large pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 12–15 minutes, or until the yams are fork-tender.

Step 3

Drain the cooked yams and transfer them to a blender or food processor.

Step 4

Add the almond milk, water, coconut oil, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the blender or food processor.

Step 5

Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. If the porridge is too thick for your liking, add additional almond milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved.

Step 6

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding a pinch more cinnamon or salt if needed.

Step 7

Transfer the yam porridge to serving bowls and garnish with toasted pecans and shredded coconut, if desired.

Step 8

Serve warm and enjoy!
