Grain Free Porridge

Loosely based on http://www.thefitnessdish.com/?p=11957.

1 Tablespoon ground flax seeds
1 Tablespoon coconut flour
1 Tablespoon chia seeds
1/2 Tablespoon coconut oil or grass-fed organic butter (put in at end)
1/3 of a very ripe large banana (or one whole small one), mashed/smashed
~ 1 cup whole milk
1 tsp honey
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (put in at end)
1 egg
cinnamon
few raisins and unsalted pepitas (good for texture, but optional)

So measure out first 3 ingredients into small saucepan. Add half the milk and stir on medium until it starts to cook. It will expand, but never really gets thick. Then add honey cinnamon, and banana. Add more milk, cooking a few more minutes. Beat egg separately and whisk into hot porridge. Don't let the heat be too high, this is making a sort of custard pudding by adding the egg. When it looks like the egg has thickened and cooked after a few minutes, you are done. Stir in butter, vanilla, raisins and pepitas.
