DS's favour Nutella

I'm a banana and brown sugar kind of girl.

cream and brown sugar

I love adding fresh berries to porridge and ready brek. If out of season then frozen berries work well as they defrost quickly with the heat. A really quick energy boost is honey and sliced banana added to it. The kids love maple syrup on honey on ready brek.

I add honey to my porridge. Also use porridge oats in fruit crumbles.

all bran and a drizzle of cream if I'm being unhealthy!

banana's are a great accompiment

We add stewed apples from the garden and also use porridge oats for flapjack and oaty biscuits

Cinnamon or golden syrup if I'm feeling naughty! :)

cinnamon and syrup

Sweetener and loads of cinnamon. Occasionally I put in some berries straight out of the freezer.

Oh, and protein powder

I usually add blueberries, raspberries, sugar and chocolate chips to mine, not all at the same time though! :) x

Ia dd a range of things to my porridge depending on the month, the time of day and also what sort of mood i'm in! For the mornings I feel I want something sweet I will add a teaspoon of Nutella into the centre and swirl in around to make a lovely pattern! The children love this too! For healthier days I will add sliced banana, strawberries & raspberries and sometimes a little bit of honey. But nothing can beat my simple childhood favourite of sprinkled sugar until it sets into the top so you get a sweet indulgent crunch!

Raspberries and honey

I add mixed dried fruit to my oats and soak overnight, in coconut milk for me and in soya milk for ds. For a real treat occassionally I soak in fruit juice or fruit juice and water - very sweet!
We eat it cold from the fridge in the morning - this way ds can sort out his own breakfast in the morning as he wakes up a bit before me and I do not want to be cooking porridge first thing! Now if only I could get dd to eat it too - she's an Oatibix (and Rice Krispies) girl!

Usually just a little sprinkle of sugar but on occasions banana and honey.

I'm not very adventurous....a sprinkle of sugar is all I add!

Golden syrup, yummy.

I add chopped dates when the porridge is cooking, and then top it with toasted seeds and almonds, and finish with a spoonful of creamy Greek yoghurt.

Always Jam, ever since I was a baby. X

Chocolate spread or golden syrup are brilliant!

I just like porridge with some brown sugar. I also love making flapjacks with porridge oats.

Blueberries for me - simple but healthy and delicious!

I add Blueberries, Raspberries, or Nutella!

Mixed dried fruit
