We love adding ground nuts (pistachios,almonds)brown sugar.

I like it with bananas - cooked. DC don't.

Sometimes put frozen berries in (cools it down).

Most often, some home made granola on the top of golden syrup sachets.

The gingerbread one sounds yummy. I will be trying that out on the DC (who love ginger).

Honey every time x

I add a tablespoon of mixed nuts, seeds and dried fruit, as well as a dollop of creme fraiche and either some honey or grated apple/chopped pear for sweetness. Just started 5.5 month old DD on baby porridge!

I take cereals/porridge every morning as the first part of my breakfast, and normally I go for coco pops or fruitnfibre with milk (warm), and it tastes yum!

In the summer I make with part water and part milk and add blueberries and strawberries, delicious. In winter I use cinnamon and raisins

Normally nothing, but as a special treat a dollop of Manuka Honey.

Just milk and salt!

For high days and holidays - cream and demerara sugar, mmmm.

Raisins honey nuttela blueberries

Honey

Sugar

I have sliced banana on my porridge

All its needs is some honey !! :)

I'm not a porridge fan, but DS1 loves it for breakfast with a squirty honey picture drawn on the top. Certainly tests my art skills!

when I were a lass I asked at a b&b for treacle porridge, not realising I'd been incorrectly calling golden syrup treacle for donkeys years! My porridge came out with a spiders web of treacle on it, looking fab, I was in shock that it wasn't my usual tasty, sweet syrup I think I ate round the treacle!!

Nowadays I usually have honey and banana or apricot and almond

This has made me want porridge again in the mornings, actually. It's a winter morning breakfast. I like sprinkled cinnamon and sugar on mine. It's also lovely with bananas and yoghurt. I like adding oats to pastry and biscuits when I make them - they're better than just wheat.

Honey, cinnamon and a few raisins. The kids love it too. x

The only thing I add is fruit, I love adding apple with some cinnamon, Banana is lovely too as it sweetens it up and it feels like there is sugar in there! I love Porridge as it's so healthy for you.

A little sprinkle of sugar

I add fruit and honey. All sorts of fruit from blueberries to bananas! xx

I love honey or sweetener on my porridge. Delicious!

I have started eating porridge recently as it is easy quick and it really does stop me snacking in the morning! dd (8) loves it too - with bananas or honey - and I think it is great with blueberries! Boring but brilliant.

Brown sugar and evaporated milk
Brown sugar and cornflakes
White bread

Mmmmmmm carbs.

Granola, yoghurt (full fat) and honey. Delicious.

When I'm being slightly healthier I leave off the yogurt. I absolutely cannot do without honey though.

We have porridge every morning and the DDs have theirs with just honey, or a sprinkling of cherrios and honey and or sometimes grapes or strawberries as well.

We used to have bananas on granola/yogurt combo as well....not sure why that has changed?!

Also use porridge oats for flapjacks.....gorgeous and they are in the home-made granola as well.

Porridge is the food of the gods!
