With Ready Brek it has to be sesame seeds and mixed nuts, but with real porridge - oh my, anything and everything!

Sugar and salt. With or without a generous dollop of butter buried in the middle.
Muscovado sugar in the middle, a drizzle of honey around it, a puddle of Oatly around the porridge.
Peanut butter, with or without jam/honey/treacle.
Sugar and cocoa powder.
Yogurt - good quality plain yogurt.
Chocolate drops scattered on top, them quickly covered over so that you get little melting surprises.
A soft poached egg, butter and a pinch of salt.

I love porridge

sliced bananas, graped and mixed seeds... yummm...

I always add salt and Golden Syrup and berries like blueberries or raspberries, i try to PYO when they are in season.

I sometimes add dried fruits, like banana and figs

Honey and dried fruit. Or sometimes a big blob of jam

I eat Dorsets Cereal porridge, they have an oat and barley porridge that you only need to add a touch of sugar to, its delicious.

Just honey. No need for anything else!

Honey or maple syrup as a treat!

classic raisins with cocoa powder

Just a bit of sweetener

jam!

Cinnamon and raisins.

A nice dollop of maple syrup does the trick

i love nutella in my porridge

Honey

I have porridge in winter, but neither of my children like it.

I like it with maple syrup, or crunchy brown sugar, and maybe a bit of dried or stewed fruit - apples, pears or plums are my favourites.

DH likes dark chocolate chips, or golden syrup.

I love raisins, and a little bit of sugar. Delicious!

Golden syrup! It's yummy! I tried grated apple in the mixture once but it curdled it :(

strawberry jam

I'm a big fan of adding grated apple, cinnamon and lashings of a smidge of golden syrup.

ooooh love a sprinkling of brown sugar and some blueberries on mine :-)

Manuka Honey and cinnamon and banana

Frozen berries and yoghurt instead of milk/ water.... It's slimming world friendly and scrummy :)

Just sugar or strawberry jam. I'm a woman of simple tastes. ;)
