Currently, N'Oatmeal is my favorite breakfast item -- besides Bacon of course. Since I removed dairy and eggs (IgG testing as well as my body reactions showed that I have a mild intolerance to these), as well as giving up all grains and nuts, breakfast has been a constant challenge for me.

Enter mock oatmeal, which is making it's run around the blogosphere. There is a surprisingly large array of ingredients that can make up n'oatmeals, including chia or flax seeds, combinations of nuts, bananas, eggs, and coconut flour. Many AIP recipes utilize different types of squash, my favorite being the spaghetti squash. This was a surprise for me, because I definitely associate spaghetti squash with, well spaghetti!
This Roasted Cinnamon Pear 'Oatmeal' (AIP, Paleo) from Healing Family Eats has thus far been my ultimate favorite and I have been making it almost every weekend, with leftovers that last me a couple of days. The roasted pears add the perfect sweetness that my body craves. As Kate recommends, I add a touch of gelatin towards the end for some added protein and gut healing properties. (My advice with gelatin is, do NOT smell it as you are adding it otherwise you may lose your appetite).
I promise that you will be so happy to sit down and devour a bowl of this greatness. I definitely recommend cooking the squash the night before, because I never do and wish that I did. I also swear by my immersion blender best friend to break up the squash into the final porridge product.
