Needing some inspo

Full cream milk and nutella

Oh wow!! I need this in my life.

i often put a dollop of mincemeat in my porridge, which is delicious, but a whole mince pie is genius!!

I agree with pp , I put frozen berries in too , I used to but tescos frozen summer fruit untill the started putting horrid tastless strawberry in the mix .

For those that like apple , good quality apple sauce makes a quick and passable substitute

Salt.

or a wee bitty honey and warm milk

Porridge made with whole milk and drizzled with dark brown sugar, ground almonds & blueberries.

Bloody lush 👍

I want to put in a good word for traditional Asian savoury porridge, BUT - keep away from cheese or in fact any dairy!!

Asian porridge is most often made with rice, but there is also oatmeal porridge. My personal experience with this has been in Taiwan, where savoury oatmeal porridge is traditionally served hot for breakfast, often on its own with accompanments available to add to your tastes.

In Taiwan, the oatmeal porridge may be made with chicken, vegetable, or onion stock, but it's also OK to make it with water (not milk!)

Once it's done and served, people can add any combo of these to their individual bowls:
soy sauce
hot sauce
fish sauce
sesame oil
soft-boiled egg or poached egg cooked "over easy" - anything with a runny yolk
raw green tops of spring onions or leeks
fried onion, mushrooms, and/or garlic
minced ginger
fresh coriander (cilantro)
soft green leaves like baby spinach, baby kale, tops of bok choi, basil, etc. (give them time to "cook" for a few minutes in the hot porridge)
toasted sesame seeds
diced fresh tomatos (raw)

Banana cooked in. Also seeds must be toasted. I do a big batch in a cast iron frying pan with a lid on for when they fly about. The smell of toasted seeds is one of the best I know and they taste amazing too.

I like porridge with plums. Roasted with a bit of orange, or the slightly runny cinnamon and plum jam that nobody else in my house likes

Frozen berries/fruit/etc defrost and add to porridge

Big heaping spoonful of jam!

Once I stirred a couple of pieces of chocolate orange in my porridge till it all melted in. Not the healthiest of choices but was amazing.

Scoop out the insides of a passion fruit. Yum!

Sprinkle half teaspoon each of ground ginger and cinnamon

Reeling at the idea of fish sauce in porridge
