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.

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.

The organic ones from Aldi in the paper bag

Oh, sometimes I mix an egg in as well

We use organic as apparently I read normal oats are always covered with a round up type of spray as they are grown as a huge mini crop, so it was worth the extra cost for me. Before that I used lidls oats.

Stir in blueberries and or blackberries half way through cooking so they soften but don’t break up too much.

This morning I made porridge pancakes. Stirred and egg and berries into dry porridge and cooked on a griddle. Some maple syrup. Excellent.
Can be made with instant oat pouches also. Easiest pancakes ever and healthier /easier for some than flour.

A flat crepe pan type griddle !

Just milk and my dad thought that was extravagant! He was a water and salt man.
Can you tell we’re Scottish 😏

Same here. I make mine with water and add salt. Yum. The rest of these suggestions would have my Grandad turning in his grave

As a child I was once served porridge made with water and salt, when I was used to it with milk and some sugar/golden syrup. I honestly thought it was a practical joke as I thought it was so horrible! I haven't tried it that way again as an adult though, so maybe I'd like it now?

As a weekend treat experiment we did porridge with banana cooked in and a dollop of biscoff on top. Was very good and will be added to the list

A good pinch of salt in the porridge when cooking it, then into a bowl, a moat of cold milk and a spoonful of dark brown sugar. Yum!

Pinch of salt and maple syrup

I usually just have it on it's own. Milk and maybe a sprinkle of brown sugar.

I might throw cinnamon and honey into the mix.
Like the idea of prepping it the night before too.
Does it make much difference?

Salt

TBS cocoa powder
Banana
TBS or two peanut butter.

Snickers porridge

Almond butter and cherry jam at the moment, like a bakewell will be moving into stewed apple and cinnamon when it gets a bit cooler! But sometimes just sugar is nice.

I completely forgot about this thread 🙈😆 thank you for your replies everyone, I'll have a look through shortly.

Some of these ideas are brilliant!!
Definitely going to have to work my way through them and see which ones I approve of. I'll report back

Strawberries, blueberries, Raspberries, Banana and a drizzle of Honey!

I just tried my usual blackberries half cooked but this time poured small amount of coconut cream over it in the bowl - really good and helped counteract the tartness if my hand picked blackberries.
Fear I got mine in too early this season. Have pounds of them. So far they have been rather tart !!!

Salt.

Cinnamon and raspberries

ah footprint - I did not know that. Might try the organic version.

I tried maple syrup and salt this morning, plus yogurt, and it was pretty good.

Tried it with Greek yogurt on top (proper 10% fat stuff). Felt a bit sick, I think because there was already a cup of milk in the porridge. Think I'll stick to butter.

I eat it every day. With raspberries and mango.
