What do you put on your porridge?

[Lostinbooksandcoffee]

In my house, it's officially porridge season

I normally have it with blueberries and almonds, or banana (and sometimes banana, walnuts and maple syrup when I'm feeling indulgent!)

Any other ideas? What do you add on yours? Only thing I wouldn't like is chocolate as it's too sickly first thing in the morning.

Standard weekday porridge has mixed spice and banana cooked in, then add raisins at the end. If I need a pick me up, I add a few squares of dark chocolate with the raisins. Weekend treat is biscoff spread

Note to self ... add porridge to shopping list!

Chopped pear cooked in and a sprinkle of raisins

Omg now I need porridge!
Either golden caster sugar
Or honey, cinnamon and raisins

Jam obvs.

Golden syrup for me. I also prefer to make it with oat milk instead of cows milk.

A grated carrot, cinnamon, sultanas and a sprinkle of brown sugar. Tastes just like carrot cake.

Some of these ideas sound delicious.

Butter and brown sugar. If I have the time, sliced apples caramelised with butter and brown sugar.

Grated apple and cinnamon

I cut through a banana, or if I have them, dried apricots, and microwave it.

In our house porridge with a spoonful of Nutella is called 'weekend porridge' because it's a weekend-only treat (in the week porridge is sweetened only with fruit - bananas, berries or dried apricots). I've recently dropped my hours at work and this morning had the wonderful revelation that I could therefore have Nutella porridge - I don't work Fridays so it's my weekend...

are you mad? it's still September you know!
when autumn comes I shall be mostly eating porridge made in the microwave with milk and water and mixed seeds, then frozen berries stirred in to cool it quickly

Cook in almond milk and top with chopped strawberries and almond butter 🤤

Peanut butter. Or cream.

I feel rather boring with my pinch of cinnamon

Milk/cream and brown sugar

Salt

Whisky or sherry, yoghurt, toasted almonds, raisins, honey.
Or stem ginger with ginger syrup and yoghurt and honey.

Cinnamon, nuts & honey

OMG, grated carrot, that’s a genius idea!

Grated apple (for a PP’s glut of bramleys) works really well too.

Salt and (vegan) butter. I make with oat milk.

Mix in banana, frozen blueberries and chia seeds. Top with Greek yogurt, coconut, pumpkin seeds and sliced almond. Oh and kiwi Fruit or plums, depending on the season. Its very indulgent 😂

What type of porridge are people using? I like Mornflake superoats. So it's that and my Greek yoghurt and berries. Sometimes I have tinned pears and cinnamon on top.

Tried all the fancy brands of oats but went back to Quaker or Scott's (they both come from the same factory, together with some own-brands).

One cup of oats in a bowl, two cups of milk and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Leave overnight in the fridge. In the morning, three minutes in the microwave.

Not to rain on anyone's porridge parade or anything-but make sure you're using ceylon cinnamon- as the other sort (cassia)can be toxic...
