Add cinnamon and maple syrup, and stir to combine.

Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.

Optional: For additional sweetness, drizzle with a little extra maple syrup just before serving.
Notes
This warming breakfast porridge is perfect for cold mornings and provides a comforting alternative to oatmeal for those on an AIP diet. The combination of tigernut flour and coconut creates a pleasing texture, while the apple and cinnamon flavors are reminiscent of apple pie. For variety, try topping with different fruits like berries or sliced bananas.
