LINGONBERRY CARAMEL OATMEAL (VEGAN, GF)

Facebook0Tweet0Pin0LinkedIn0Print0

Lingonberry caramel oatmeal (vegan, gf)Hello from the forest! That’s where I’ve been today searching for bright red berry gems. And I found some, but not enough to make this delicious lingonberry caramel oatmeal (vegan, gf). Luckily I have a precious berry stash in the freezer so I could make this yummy porridge. If you don’t have lingonberries, you can always use cranberries as well!

Lingonberries and caramel: a classic

Lingonberries and caramel sauce is a classic dessert combo, which I love to have for breakfast, too. And even with vegan caramel sauce, it’s not an unhealthy breakfast, because the caramel is made of whole food ingredients. It’s a pretty basic one, and it’s one of the first super dreamy sweets I learned to make when changing my diet to plant-based: dates blended with plant-based milk, nut butter and pinch of salt.

How to make delicious porridge

This lingonberry porridge is creamy with thick oat milk, and good quality gluten-free oats. We eat oatmeal almost every day in autumn and winter, and I like to vary it up a bit by adding shredded coconut, using buckwheat flakes or even rice flakes together with oats and also a swirl of nut butter. To make the brekkie even sweeter, I suggest smashing a ripe spotted banana in the porridge. So yummy!

Lingonberry caramel oatmeal (vegan, gf)This oatmeal will work with any berries, but I find the combo of tart lingonberries and caramel irresistible. Cranberries will work perfectly too! I’ve also eaten this oatmeal with blueberries and raspberries, the same caramel sauce and some cream on top…it was so good I almost cried (I often get emotional when I’m eating good food 🙂 ).

Hope you like this as much as we do!

Happy weekend from the forest!
