Chocolate Flax Seed Porridge

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup flax seed
• 2-3 cups water
• 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder (heaping)
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/4 teaspoon stevia (you can use the sweetener of your choice to taste)
• 1 pinch salt
• 1/4 cup pecans, chopped (optional)
• fruit, of your choice (optional)

Directions

1. 1

   Grind the flax seeds, 1/4 cup at a time, in a coffee grinder until very fine.

2. 2

   In a small, preferably non-stick, saucepan, place the ground flax and all other ingredients, except the nuts and fruit.

3. 3

   Simmer on low heat until hot and bubbling, stirring frequently. Add more water until it's the consistency that's most pleasing to you; I like it on the thin side.

4. 4

   Spoon into small bowls; top with nuts and fruit.
