These creamy spiced oats paired with naturally sweet and syrupy mulled fruits makes for the most comforting breakfast. It’s vegan, can be made gluten-free (just use gluten-free oats) and full of nutritional goodness too. Plus it’s so quick and easy to make! The fruits are steeped in cranberry juice and mulled wine flavourings (don’t worry - there is no alcohol in this breakfast) for the most delicious and Christmassy breakfast topping you can imagine.
Serve with some clementine slices and a drizzle of maple syrup or a dollop of orange marmalade. Enjoy!
