I saw some recipes that include it, but I'm more curious about those of you who add it in to things. I've heard that adding it to oatmeal is fairly common....What

It's actually pretty good in coffee with some soy milk. I've also put it in with greens when I'm cooking them, makes a nice sauce.

i add it to my pancake batter... just use a little less of the recommended sweetener and add a teaspoon or two of blackstrap molasses. it has a strong taste so go light on it at first.

goodluck!

I am a total Vegan Lunchbox groupie! It's such a great site. I'm suprised that this recipe slipped away while I've looked at/tried making everything else she's posted :)

Awesome! This is just the kind of recipe I was looking for. One question though: I usually don't have fresh ginger on hand, so could ground ginger be substituted easily? Any idea on how to change the measurement if so?

Silly me, I forgot to log in to reply :)

ummm, I dunno. The fresh ginger was really delicious. I'd recommend just going to the store for it if that's a possibility.
