Gingerbread Porridge with cherry sauce

Creamy, vegan oatmeal with wintery spices and warming cherry sauce. Simple, quick recipe for a healthy breakfast.

Servings: 2 people

Author: Lena

Ingredients

50 g (1 cup) rolled oats
125 ml (1cup) plantbased milk
125 ml (1 cup) water
1 tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp ground cloves
¼ tsp ground ginger or freshly grated ginger
a pinch of ground nutmeg
2 tbsp agave syrup or maple syrup

Cherry sauce

100 g frozen cherries or berries
50 g agave syrup or maple syrup
1 tbsp starch
orange zest
1 star anise

Instructions

Put all the ingredients for the porridge in a saucepan and let simmer for 5 minutes stirring constantly.
For the cherry sauce, heat the cherries in a pot with the agave syrup, star anise and orange zest to make a liquid sauce. Mix the starch with 2 tbsp cold water in a bowl and then whisk it under the cherry sauce. This makes the sauce creamier.
Serve the oatmeal with the hot cherry sauce and hazelnuts or store it in the fridge for several days.
