Tell me your best porridge topper ideas

My new favourite breakfast - porridge - as it's warm and filling. I cheat and use the sachets. Current fave toppers are chopped banana with a sprinkle of sweet cinnamon.

What else can I try?

(Sorry if not relevant to you)

the sachets have stuff in that makes the oats less healthy. I don’t remember what but it’ll be sugar for sure. You can make porridge very quickly on the hob with oats. If you have no weight issues then the sachets are probably ok for you. I have in the past been on diets and mistakenly thought porridge sachets were a healthy breakfast. www.independent.co.uk/life-style/food-and-drink/instant-porridge-sachets-pots-not-healthy-breakfast-sugar-quantities-diet-quaker-oats-nairns-rude-health-a7566981.html?amp

anyway: these toppings go well together - Apple, hazelnut and honey. Or pecans instead of hazelnuts.

I used to have porridge and yogurt. I can’t stomach it now, I ate it for so many years.

I cook porridge with ground almonds mixed in, for an extra sustaining protein hit.
