Vegan Porridge with Fruits and Cinnamon
This vegan porridge with fruits and cinnamon is a warming breakfast made with porridge oats, oat drink, apple, pear, goji berries and hazelnuts. The Thermomix TM7 grinds the hazelnuts, cooks the oats to a creamy consistency and leaves you with a fuss-free, plant-based morning bowl in minutes.
About this recipe
Vegan porridge with fruits and cinnamon in the Thermomix TM7 is the kind of quick breakfast recipe that turns a cold morning into something worth getting up for. Oats are simmered in oat drink until thick and velvety, then topped with diced apple and pear, chewy goji berries and coarsely ground hazelnuts for crunch. The all-in-one kitchen machine makes this breakfast genuinely hands-free: the TM7 grinds the hazelnuts from whole to exactly the coarseness you like, then heats and stirs the oats so nothing sticks to the bottom of the bowl. A pinch of sea salt and a dusting of ground cinnamon tie the flavours together, while a drizzle of maple syrup adds optional sweetness. Whether you batch-prepare breakfasts for the week or make a single bowl on a slow Sunday, this plant-based porridge delivers consistent, creamy results every single time.
Preparation tips
- Toast the hazelnuts in a dry pan before grinding them in the TM7; the roasting releases their oils and gives the porridge topping a noticeably deeper, nuttier flavour than raw nuts.
- Dice the apple and pear just before serving so they keep their fresh bite and juicy texture; if you prefer softer fruit, fold the pieces through the warm porridge and let them soften for a few moments.
- For a creamier bowl, stir in an extra splash of oat drink at the end, and add the goji berries on top rather than cooked so they stay pleasantly chewy instead of turning mushy.
Recipe variations
- For a gluten-free version, use certified gluten-free oats and swap the oat drink for a certified gluten-free rice or almond drink; the texture stays just as creamy and the cinnamon-hazelnut topping remains unchanged.
- For a seasonal winter variant, replace the pear with diced persimmon or cooked chestnuts and add a grating of nutmeg alongside the cinnamon, giving the porridge a festive, spiced character perfect for December mornings.
