I just add sugar

Usually strawberries & bananas with a drizzle of honey, but in the winter I do apple and cinnamon and sometimes blackberries if we find any :)

Banana, maple syrup and some kind of seeds.

Raisins! Or as DD calls them yay-yays. She is 4 and can say it properly now but it's kind of stuck from when she was younger and we all find it kind of cute! (And we all say it too)

Dh has raisins/sultanas and chopped banana. Not exciting but quite tasty.

YD has a squeeze of runny honey on hers (made with milk). I'm not a sweets person so make mine with water and add tomato puree and a pinch of dried herbs. Sounds odd, tastes like oaty soup.

I love porridge for breakfast - it's so nice to stop and have something warm. I also bake oaty biscuits - a simple biscuit recipe where you roll the 'balls' in oats. delicious.

Porridge-wise I love trying all of the different flavours - liking apple and blueberry at the moment.. also sometimes add seeds, or even a handful of muesli.
the tomato puree and herbs really intrigues me!

I also love a squidge of maple syrup, at times, and it was in a Jilly Cooper novel I think that a character had porridge with a big spoonful of golden syrup and a huge dollop of whipped cream! awesome. hmm. think I want some more now.........

Asda's own granulated sweetener and skimmed milk. It's lovely - still makes it creamy and sweet, but without all the calories!

A tiny sprinkling of demera sugar and a splash of cold milk, is my favorite. But i will sometimes add blueberries or raspberrys or top with stewed damsons.
Dd and i have just started on homemade porridge, made with semi skimmed milk this week. So much nicer than instant pots ive been eating the last few winters.

I make porridge with half cup oats, half cup water and half cup milk and tiny bit of salt. Cook until thick. Sprinkle with Demerara sugar and make a little well in the middle, into the well add a big blob of thick double cream. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

I add either raspberry jam or honey to my porridge.

very tasty

I love it with toddler soya milk and a squeeze of golden syrup (although I have been known to eat most of it before cooking and have to mash the rest around to make it look like a proper bowlful!

a little drop of honey, and a large handful of sultanas

Dried fruit or bananas and golden syrup.

Bananas usually or Nutella as a treat!

I have porridge every day, I make it with water and a generous dash of cinnamon, then when its done I stir in a dash of milk just to give it a bit of creamyness! Its lovely!

MAPLE SYRUP AND BANANA SOMETIMES FRESH CREAM ITS GREAT ON A COLD MORNING

Porridge is a special treat for me as I'm on a low carb diet. But I do like a bowl of proper porridge with lots of golden syrup as a special treat.

golden syrup

blueberries and pecans, yummy!

Some mixed seeds and honey

Jam or just sprinkling of sugar.

I don't like porridge, but I do like Ready Brek.

I eat it with a small sprinkling of sugar.

love to add blueberrys or raisins

Stewed fruit- usually apple or rhubarb with cinnamon. I make it with full fat milk to really fill us up!

Raisins and sometimes honey to sweeten.
