My little girl enjoys honey and banana in her porridge, it's a great way to get lots of goodness into her. She is 14 months now and has been having ready break for the last few months. We also make raisin, oat & cinnamon biscuits and honey flapjacks. I try and use honey rather than golden syrup as perhaps is a bit better for her? I always make biscuits rather than buy and oats are the way to go!

Porridge is just plain in our house. However, I did make a lovely oat and apple cake a year or two ago. I should dig out the recipe again!

Walnuts, berries of any kind, flaxseed and Manuka honey

i love my ready brek plain and sprinkled with sugar.
though when i was younger i loved the addition of chocolate buttons to stire through,stewed apple,golden syrup.
the kiddies love as a treat a packet of tuti fruities!!very rare dont hound me.and smarties.that the end of the week dabble they get to pick something random to try in it.
trying roasting strawberries and raspberries in the oven for a little while,the sprinkle with a mix of oats and sugar and a bit of flour if needs and then crisp up.we serve this with yoghurt,ice,cream or even white chocolate melted on top just as it comes out the oven so it melts in.
oats in good old yorkshire gingerbread and parkin are some of the best recipes.

i dont add anything! love it plain!

Brown sugar, hands down!

Sliced banana and a handful of sultanas, delicious!

We usually have porridge for supper,I use milk and heat in the microwave and then add a small dollop of nutella yummy!

Half almond milk/half water

A sprinkling of sunflower & linseed

A dollop of cashew butter for a treat

I add puréed or dried fruit. Yum!

Golden syrup. Although I fancy trying crystallized ginger now!

The boys like sultanas. DS2 occasionally has golden syrup for a treat. I like cinnamon and sultanans, or brown sugar.

It varies. Sometimes it will be fruit - blueberries usually. Tinned pears are surprisingly nice! Somedays I will add cinnamon instead, ormlerhaos just golden syrup or sugar.....

I add sugar

I have one child who will only eat it with raisins the other will eat any combo current favourites are cherry jam and a sprinkle of crushed amaretti biscuits or fresh blackberries and grated apple. But our flavour range goes from simple brown sugar and butter to crumbled chocolate brownie in birthday porridge.

Strawberry Jam :)

Blueberries & honey. Yum!

This is what happens when the tooth fairy has been....

I add a teaspoon of local honey to my porridge; it helps relieve the hay fever symptoms too!

Raisins, sultanas and a swirl of maple syrup

honey is a real treat, but the boy likes jam

I love a good spoon of homemade jam mixed through mine. Fresh berries are very tasty too.

Golden syrup

Blueberries if we have them in. I make them in the shape of smily faces for the kids if I can be arsed
