Always have it with honey- nice and simple!

honey

just good old white sugar, I love it when its melts!

Always honey to sweeten. Sometimes throw in a few blueberries or strawberries, dependant on what we have

My favourite porridge is like a rice pudding. Eaten hot, with a dollop of butter in the middle (which of course will MELT - YUM!) sprinkling of sugar, and a generous sprinkling of cinnamon. My husband will add maple syrup on top, and sometimes blueberries. But, butter, sugar and cinnamon will do for me and our sons!

rhubarb and ginger jam

I always have jam with porridge or I will mix apples, raisins an d cherries. I sometimes like having caramel or chocolate syrup over my porridge if I fancy having a really sweet porridge.

I add sesame and flax seeds and either strawberries or blueberries

A little sugar and a splodge of jam :)

Ds1 has honey and raisins
Ds2 a spoonful if chocolate spread
Dd has honey or apple purée

frozen blueberries :D

We sometimes make porridge with water and occasionally with full cream milk. Whichever way, we make it with 1 part organic jumbo oats to 2 parts water or milk and usually add:

cinnamon and stewed apple

honey and lemon curd (swirled, it's delicious!)

squashed strawberries and a tiny drop of vanilla extract

blueberry jam

Porridge is a staple winter breakfast in our house so it's nice to ring the changes.

Jam or Cinnamon is my favourite topping to add :)

We love it and add chopped pear and banana. You don't need to add any sugar and it add to your 5 a day to boot. x

honey. plain and tasty.

chopped almonds, strawberry pieces and apple pieces.

Raisins and sweet er.

I love honey on top of porridge. It's not the healthiest of options but it satisfies my sweet tooth.

Chopped banana and a spoon of Nutella is favored by all members of our household. Yum!

I add honey, delicious and good for you.

Usually honey - lots!

Sometimes Golden Syrup or sliced bananas.

Oats are great as part of a crumble mix too. I usually add to this for a crunchy and healthy addition

Dd and I add a large handful of frozen raspberries to piping hot porridge. The raspberries quickly melt and add delicious, tangy flavour to the porridge - yum!

Honey, and sometimes strawberries

Always cinnamon and sometimes chopped bananas or honey

I love porridge.... I make it with water and add brown sugar plus fresh blueberries/raspberries/strawberries, then cook. Afterwards I add walnuts, seeds and milled linseed.
Love the sound of lemon curd in it!
