This fonio porridge bowl is jam-packed (pun intended!) with flavor thanks to sour cherry and ginger jam. A swirl of your favorite nut butter adds some satiating fat and flavor, and if you like, a bit of crunch. We recommend topping with cherries, coconut flakes, dark chocolate, and granola to round out this nourishing bowl.
