Hello and Happy Sunday,
I put together a video to show four of my go to breakfasts after being asked by several friends what vegans eat for breakfast. Today I’m posting the four recipes along with the video in hopes to inspire new morning habits. All the recipes are on the sweeter side of the breakfast spectrum and all very simple but I’ve also made some staples which will make putting together a wholesome and delicious breakfast easy like; chia jam, rhubarb compote and a toasted muesli. I’ve tried to make these as fuss-free as possible and preparing your own condiments give you the opportunity to put exactly what you want inside and nothing else. The recipes also make much more than you’d use up in just one breakfast so you could prepare them on a free evening and enjoy them the rest of the week. However, remember that everywhere I have made my own staple you can of course replace that with a store bought alternative to save time or use fresh or frozen fruit for example instead of a jam or compote.
I’m hoping to make another video similar to this one but with savoury recipes, is that something ou guys are interested in? Would love to hear your thoughts and requests.
About the recipe:
This oatmeal, or porridge, is tainted yellow by the almighty turmeric. I like to spice up my oatmeal as it’s something I make most days of the week and this is my new favourite way to do so. The recipe is very basic and sweetened naturally by raisins that I cook into the oats making them really gooey and sweet. The turmeric brings that golden milk flavour to the oats, especially since I cook them with half milk and half water to create that creamy texture that I know we all love. Turmeric is also meant to be a powerhouse of a spice with properties beneficial for our health and I love the fact that it works as an anti-inflammatory. To top it all off I like to sprinkle this oatmeal with hemp seeds, which is a good source of plant protein, as well as some fresh or frozen berries, which makes a nice colour clash with the yellow oats, before pouring over some more (plant) milk.
Enjoy! x

TURMERIC OATMEAL W. RAISINS
SINGLE SERVING / TIME: 10 min
1/2 cup porridge oats
1/2 cup plant milk
1/2 cup water
1/4 tsp turmeric
Small handful of raisins
Topping suggestions: hemp seeds, fresh/frozen mixed berries and plant milk
Simply place all the oatmeal ingredients in a small pot over medium-high heat.
Ones the oatmeal comes to a boil you might want to turn the heat down and/or stir often.
Serve with your favourite toppings. I used hemp seeds, thawed frozen berries and creamy soya milk.
You can of course double, triple, quadruple… the recipe as you wish to feed your friends and family.
This is my favourite recipe of the four variations you shared. Mainly because I like warm breakfasts 🙂 The photography is beautiful as always! I mostly eat savoury cooked breakfasts due to my kind of weakdigestive system so if you have some ideas for that I would love to see them in a video 😉 And if you´re interested: I mostly eat some kind of stew-like porridge from brown rice, millet or buckwheat (sometimes miked with tiny seeds like amaranth or kaniwa) with carrots and radish, which I cook separately or with the grains. I like to top it with some fresh herbs, grated ginger and pickled cabbage or kimchi. Or I just prepare a miso soup with these veggies and pour it over some rice, that I keep ready in the fridge.
Much love from Vienna!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and letting me know what you like – it’s really helpful as I try to create new recipes to share with you. I will definitely take on what you’ve said and share more warm breakfasts although it might take a little while as we’re heading into summer and I tend to go for less cooked food at this point. I’m sure I’ll be having rainy spells here in Scandinavia though when I’ll get the chance to experiment with more warm and savoury breakfast ideas. Your grain breakfasts sound great. I often have leftovers for breakfast if we’ve had soups or congee, even curry sometimes although I’m sure many people would find that a little strange. I like your stew-porridge toppings, will try that combination soon. 🙂
Love and light from Copenhagen!
I’ve never actually had turmeric in sweet recipes before! It sounds delicious–definitely something I want to try out!
It actually works very well and used in a reasonable amount the flavour is not at all overpowering 🙂 I’m glad you want to try it and I hope you enjoy it when you do!
I’ve never put turmeric in my oatmeal before but it turned out amazing! It has a really subtle but yummy taste. I served mine with blueberries, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, raw buckwheat groats and chia seeds. It’s my new favourite oatmeal combo!
