Liven up my porridge please!

Now that I've mastered instant pot porridge on a delayed start - How do you eat yours? What do you have on/mixed into it.

I'm bored of banana and blueberries.

My go to toppings are:
Raspberries with tiny drizzle of honey
Blueberries with flaked almonds
Blackberries with flaked almonds
Stewed pears
Stewed apple
Mixed berry compote
Or sometimes just honey
When I'm under the weather, I love a dollop of jam (blackcurrant is my favourite at the moment)

Nutella. Just a teaspoon mixed through.
Not the healthiest maybe, but sooooo good! Or I like a drizzle of honey and some chopped walnuts

@Phalarope that sounds bloody lovely, I imagine it tastes a little like carrot cake.

@LassoOfTruth I'm not a fan of Nutella, which is a shame because I see pictures on Instagram of chocolate-y porridge and it looks lush.

Grated apple.

Ground almonds. Or chopped nuts.

And frozen raspberries or other berries. Mushed in to make it pink!

I don't eat porridge, but if you want it chocolatey and don't like Nutella, just use Cadbury's (or another brand) chocolate spread.

Unsalted peanut butter and mixed berries in porridge is a great combination. Not too savoury. Not too sweet!

Sorry that was meant to be unsweetened peanut butter. Crunchy for preference!

I read on here last year a spoonful of mince pie filling is delicious, I’ve never got round to trying it but adding it to my shopping list!

I was going to say mincemeat! The sweet one, obvs!

Also, pears cut fine and cooked with cinnamon.

Also bananas that have been microwaved until liquefied and intensely sweet. Cinnamon is a nice addition.

Frozen berries thawed and warmed in the microwave.

BlackBerry and apple stewed.

Apricot jam.

Marmalade.
