Good to know

The smell of gingerbread in the morning – but as a breakfast with quark and oats. The ramekins bake while you're in the shower. The orange slices caramelise slightly on top.

Swaps

Low-fat quark → skyr (similar protein content). Oranges → mandarins or pears. Maple syrup → honey (no honey for babies under one year old). Hazelnuts → flaked almonds.

Cooking tips

The porridge is done when a wooden skewer comes out of the middle without any wet batter. Without ramekins, it works in a small baking dish – just bake it for 5 min longer.

Storage

Covered, the baked porridge keeps for 3 days in the fridge; cold, it tastes like a moist cake.

Allergens

Contains gluten (oats, unless labelled gluten-free), egg, milk and tree nuts (hazelnuts). Suitable for children; depending on the blend, gingerbread spice contains cloves and nutmeg, both only in small amounts.
