Dairy free + Gluten Free + Refined Sugar Free Recipes
Porridge with Blackberry and Redcurrant
Porridge is such a classic when it comes to breakfast. Yet it’s not easy to get bored of it as with the various toppings and mix-ins you can create some really enjoyable tastes. The options are endless! This comforting porridge is vegan, gluten-free, refined sugar-free and high in protein and fibre. Yum, what a delicious morning treat! π
YOU’LL NEED
Porridge oats : if you’re on a gluten free diet you need to buy gluten free oats as manufacturing can cause cross contamination. Hence if the product does not specify gluten free, the manufacturer cannot guarantee that your oat is gluten free.
Milk : for creaminess use milk (dairy or non-dairy both works) but you can use water too.
Toppings : this time I added frozen blackberries and redcurrants, and a drizzle of peanut butter and hazelnut spread, which are a great combination with porridge.
TIPS
*This porridge oats-milk ratio is one of the many, everybody has different taste, you might want to experiment a bit to find out the best ratio for you.
*If you like your porridge runnier, simply add a splash more milk until you reach the consistency you like.
*Jazz up your porridge with your favourite combination of fresh fruit, spices and nuts, see below some examples for inspiration.
OPTIONAL TOPPINGS/MIX-INS
These are a lot of possibilities when it comes to toppings and mix-ins for porridge. Let’s see a few of the many:
*fresh or frozen fruit: kiwis, apple, blueberries, any fruit really!
*spices: hint of mixed spices, cinnamon or nutmeg can be a nice addition
*nut butter: drizzle of peanut or almond butter, or tahini
*seeds and nuts: linseed, sunflower and chia seeds or walnuts
*vanilla extract: why not try a teaspoon of vanilla extract
*drizzle of honey or maple syrup if you prefer vegan
*baked apples with cinnamon
*chocolate flakes
