Your favourite porridge toppings?

[Freefalling22]

I love porridge but usually stick to banana or berries for toppings.

What are your favourite porridge toppings? Might steal some ideas

Seeds/ nuts , pumpkin, hazelnut etc I put chia and flax for crunch with a bit of honey and cinnamon

I love making Sweet Spiced Nuts to go on top of my porridge - lovely with some chopped pear too!

Golden syrup.

Scotch.

Grated apple, dollop each of peanut butter and Greek yoghurt and a drizzle of maple syrup - delicious and filling

Pear, dark chocolate chips and ground hazelnuts
Apple and cinnamon
Stewed plums, maple syrup and pecans
Dark chocolate, almond and raspberry

Fresh peaches when in season.
A little lemon curd in the bowl before the porridge is a lovely surprise !

Honey and double cream.

Any of the following (separately!):

Brown sugar
Prunes, chopped up
Compote (especially cherry)
Honey

Wowser

Black cherries and a few drops of almond essence mixed in when cooking, flaked almonds sprinkled on top, cherry bakewell porridge 😍

Grated apple & cinnamon
Coconut and raspberries
Flaked almonds and cherry compote

Chocolate buttons sometimes

Stewed apple with Greek yoghurt and a sprinkling of pecans or walnuts. Maybe with a dash of maple syrup too.

Nutella!

I like making a batch of fruit compote. Chop a couple of apples into bite-size chunks and fry in a little coconut oil. Add brown sugar and season with cinnamon and nutmeg. After 5 minutes or so add a pack of fresh or frozen blueberries. As the blueberries soften squish a few to get a syrup. Awesome addition to porridge - especially with a dollop of plain live yoghurt and a splash of maple syrup.

Dollop of cashew butter, raisins and honey and sliced banana, yum I love porridge but when it's too hot I have greek yoghurt with muesli, honey and fruit

I use a mix of seeds
Sesame
sunflower
Chia
Flaxseed

Blueberries - usually buy frozen and defrost overnight (usually defrost 3-4 days at a time). I’ve tried defrosting/cooking them as the porridge was cooking, but finds the porridge goes too gooey, so I just add the defrosted ones. Yum!

Grated apple and raisins, thrown in before porridge goes in microwave or on hob (depending on how much time I have).

Desiccated coconut

Rhubarb/ginger - I do big cook up when forced rhubarb comes in. Freeze it. Love it!
Blackberry coulis - annual harvest cooked and frozen.
Honey and lemon juice.
Stewed apple and ginger but with the apple still a bit chunky.
Love porridge !

Almond butter, ground flaxseed, pumpkin seeds, drizzle of maple syrup, sometimes coconut yogurt, and whatever fruit - rhubarb lately (definitely going to try cooking it with ginger as a PP said!), also love cherries & blueberries cooked down, cooked plums, cooked apple. Porridge is my favourite because of the toppings!

Stewed apple with cinnamon, maple syrup

Has to be granulated sugar and double cream.

I usually just add frozen ones to hot porridge and they defrost

I chop medjool dates and cook as part of the process for me and DD. V nice!
