Sultanas & honey is what I like to add to my porridge

We make porridge islands. Milk around theoutside for sea. squares of Apple for houses. Brown sugar & cinnamon beaches. Raisin boats......they are getting a bit old for this but still love it!

Milk, sugar and honey.

I was born in Aberdeenshire so only add a pinch of salt to porridge.

Jam

Honey

In Scotland the only traditional proper thing to add to your porridge is a little salt. That is all.

I can't stand porridge. Sorry!
But DH and DD have it most mornings. DH has it with sugar and DD either has the same or sliced banana or other fruit. Her favourite at the moment is mango. I get the frozen cubed mango from tesco and take a few out the night before ready for breakfast.

Maply syrup - simple but excellent!

My DDs love few slices of banana in their Ready Brek, plus a swirl of honey or maple syrup for a bit of added sweetness

Just a drizzle of honey

I love to add blueberries and strawberries, tastes lovely and a handful adds one of my five a day

Salt and whatever fruit is to hand

I occasionally have half a packet of Rolos swirled into my ready break!

We often add a handful of frozen fruits - tasty and cools it down quickly so the kids can eat it.
Gingerbread flavour sounds good!

Pineapple juice .... for a tropical taste!

Mashed banana (which I cook with the porridge), a bit of cinnamon and a sprinkle of brown sugar.

Golden syrup

Local Honey to add that Natural sweetness and hopefully to add Hayfever relieving properties and it helps support the local community

When having porridge we have a selection of extras in our family, I add a bit of cinnamon and orange to mine as i like the mixture.

My daughter will add honey and a squeeze of lemon

When my 3yr old niece comes she likes it with raisins and apple!

usually add sultanas, however at the moment have a glut of apples from the garden so have been adding stewed apples with cinnamon

I have mine naked. You can't improve on nature

Honey

I add chopped dried apricots and raisins. Also grated pink lady apple is delicious in porridge.
I also add a teaspoon of linseed as it is very good for digestion

Treacle! Rich and delicious!
